Great story Dave; I guess you're wondering, like we are, what would have happened if he had kept going straight. I'm going to assume that was a conversion - much more interesting that way. The guy p

Stu, et Listers, Thanks for posting this tip Stu; I was thinking along the same lines myself. It would be nice if a specially machined spacer like you describe were available from S.S. or elsewhere.

From they way I understand your description, it will definitely leak. The collar of the male fitting may seal against the face of the female fitting, preventing fluid from leaking there. However, th
