Right !!
I cut the top off an old petcock to make an adapter (i'm a tight ass, I know !!!)
i'm going to be putting a 3/8 petcock onto the tank
SO does anyone know what size hole i need to be drilling, this metal is real soft so i'm guessing/hoping it will be pretty easy to thread too.
Also the original hole is going to be wider at each side, will jb weld hold up ok ??
OR
should i just give up and buy an adapter plate !!
