Then reduce from the compression pipe thread. Or you can thread the inside of that stub shaft with a pipe tap and reduce from that, providing it is the heave fibreglass shaft.</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1492131028055_3452"><span>Hank</span></div> <div class="yiv2945058202qtdSeparateBR" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1492131028055_3445"><br clear="none"><br></div></div></div></div></div> </div> </div> </div></div></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>Personal_Submersibles mailing list</span><br><span><a href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a></span><br><span><a href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a></span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
