This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0006_01BF77A9.F8A49FE0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Glad to see you decided against the idea. The old 72s don't have enough "meat" to thread to 3/4 NGS. I have rethreaded 1/2 British Tapered Pipe to 1/2 NPT. This is not much of a change at all (slight difference in the taper degree and in the thread angle itself, threads per inch and nominal OD are the same), but I found it to be quite difficult. It worked, but did me little good, because I can't get the British tanks hydroed here in the US (no DOT stamp). This is the type of thing you do because you enjoy the metal working (I'm an amateur machinist -- I'll make one or two of anything), not to save money. Sincerely, C.
