I found all the parts at the hardware shop except the 1" CPVC slip coupling, so I cut a 1" piece of the 1 1/4" pipe then cut a gap in it 273 thou wide (7mm). When I squeezed the gap closed it fit snugly inside the 1 1/4" pipe. I glued it in place and spray painted it silver apart from the threaded eyepiece section. Result - one happy boy! horstgrabenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05426572173678374615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677351562725022763.post-48678617097036385212020-03-23T12:45:31.159-06:002020-03-23T12:45:31.159-06:00İt looks profesional:clapİt looks profesional:clapdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06948929320196210652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677351562725022763.post-90950421071361215422016-04-02T06:11:43.832-06:002016-04-02T06:11:43.832-06:00Thank you so much!
