Paul,

Didn't you have to change the fitting in the block to fit the copper
pipe, though?  I had one on mine for a short time, but I eventually
replaced it with a braided steel version from Winner's Circle:
www.spridget.com.  It will attach to the existing fittings and there are
no worries about vibrations.
