Opps, sorry I see what you mean, you have a reducer like Gamma. Your gonna have to cut it off if you can't find a lathe big enough for the CT.<BR>

Brian,<BR>
You have to machine the land with the CT<BR>
anyways. It is going to warp from welding it on anyways.<BR>

My welder got<BR>
carried away and welded up the top 6"<BR>
that was suppose<BR>
to first go in the lathe<BR>
to face off the ss land<BR>
;-)So now I have a<BR>
whole conning tower that would<BR>
have to go<BR>
in the lathe ! 24" ! Not<BR>
sure<BR>
what I'm going to do . We could just cut it<BR>
off and re weld it. It was a difficult fit<BR>
so he<BR>
was concentrating on getting things<BR>
lined<BR>
up. Brian<BR>
