um...forgive me for asking the stupid question but if the threads are damaged enough that they can't be used for a hose fitting how are you going to cap it?



about 25% of the threads are toasted, only on one side.... so 1/4 of the round part is messed up... when i said cap I was thinking tig it shut with a plug. in my head i pictured what i wanted, in the forum i sounded stupid

my worry is leakage if i run the external pickup... if its plugged i can replace it at a later time, if i ever decide too.
