or now ive got you. im a million miles away. its to go on the gas outlet on the regulator. ive no idea of thread size, im just guessing are standard size. ill try and find out. been a storeman you might know the best place to buy these 1.5" tee's and elbows. i got a mate to get these for me, so up to now its cost me nothing cause got the profiled flange for nothing to

picked this up today. just need to get a another flange like this. then i can build jig. im bidding on one at the minute. the tapped one i have is only 8mm would prefer 12 or 15mm but its only a prototype so im not worried
