Opps, sorry I see what you mean, you have a reducer like Gamma.  Your gonna have to cut it off if you can't find a lathe big enough for the CT.<BR>

 You have to machine the land with the CT<BR>
 anyways. It is going to warp from welding it on anyways.<BR>

    My welder got<BR>
  carried away and welded up the top 6"<BR>
 that was suppose<BR>
  to first go in the lathe<BR>
 to face off the ss land<BR>
  ;-)So now I have a<BR>
 whole conning tower that would<BR>
  have to go<BR>
 in the lathe !  24" !   Not<BR>
  sure<BR>
 what I'm going to do .  We could just cut it<BR>
  off and re weld it.   It was a difficult fit<BR>
 so he<BR>
  was concentrating on getting things<BR>
 lined<BR>
  up. Brian<BR>
