I have done some clean up...
New Tomba models and names:Tomba700S:
The most Simple. Could be used only with Tomba slider. Might lose vacuum if during loading move the shaft backward.
Tomba700E: Could be used with any plastic slider.
Tomba700X: Only for shafts 6,5 to 7 mm, using only Tomba slider.
TombaF700E: "Free shaft" Tomba -

Nice installation video. I might have to get one of those kits at some point.

Maybe there was already somewhere similar image, but here is how could be the shaft loaded in water, with Tomba kit. Shaft should be filed on one side to be as on image, to allow water to pass under the O-ring while being inserted in muzzle.
Shaft should be inserted into the muzzle together with cone ring, O-ring and the slider. After that holding the slider in muzzle, preventing it from moving forward during pushing in the shaft, shaft should be pushed in to make contact with piston. From that moment loading can be proceeded as usual. -
New naming:

On picture above is version of slider for Tomba kit made of titanium (slider is only made out of titanium), it is version 1.1, I already made version 1.2 , after some welding with my TIG machine I concluded that I need to move eye on slider little back because arc during welding process burns front edge of slider so this is how version 1.2 looks, in eye is hole of bore 2 mm. Slider is made from titanium grade 5, interesting thing is that 1 square mm of titanium grade 5 theoretically can hold 100 kg before it breaks, eye on slider is made from fi = 7 mm round titanium bar which is sliced and milled on half and then TIG welded to rest of the slider body , and it is wide 2.5 mm, I made test till now with weight of 30 kg and it holds, need to find more weight for further tests
So on picture below is slider with hole 2 mm version 1.2
