I've installed two of the adapters from BPNW on a 1973 and a 1972 TR6.
Had no leaks on either of them. They supplied two different diameter O
rings and a little plasti-guage to determine which would work best on
your car. To ease in the install I held the O rings in place with a
little grease. The grease also allows a little movement for when you're
aligning it to the ideal location and before you tighten it to the final
resting place.
