[SEL] Old plumbing

[Al Harris]

You'd hate to have to *tap* a 2" thread in Peter.  I cut a 2" thread 
*on* a pipe just last week with my Bulldog 3 1/2 and I can tell you, my 
rotator cuffs and my pipe vise and bench, knew they had tough 
competition (and I was using cutting fluid).

I think I'll use reducers and stick to 1 1/4" down from now on.

BTW my Oz and Pommie engines all appear to use BSPT plumbing.

Cheers,
