[Tigers] Need a part

[Owain Lloyd]

I got one from a gas supplies place - I think Bez.co.uk or bes.co.uk.
Took a bit of searching the site but they also have one for 3/8"
tubing which is worth using if you are putting out over 250hp.  They
are brass and screw right up to the original threads with some teflon
thread seal on them.
