a m20 1.25 is also very close, both seem to screw in and tighten up, choose which ever off ball ya want, im drilling it out and putting a fitting in for other purposes actually.

well, 5 inch stack is on, time to take cold srat off and put in in base of the stack,,,for now waiting on new batteries to come in...i hate buying those things!
