So I ordered the modern ones from the above mentioned supplier. The threaded end wont be long enough to pass through the floor bracket and be able to hook up to the flex hose.

It should be 1/2" female to 1/2" male bspp. The male end needs to be longer so that the flex hoses can attach to them.

Ive tried to find some extentions but no luck. I think they would be called bulkhead adaptors. Just wondering if anyone can help me find some.

Is there a male -female elbow, that you can screw in some brass threaded pipe. Weld it in with easyflo, having already turned the tapered seat into the outer end of the pipe. (I know you'd rather buy the right ones)

I might have spares, but they will have to wait a week until I get back from warmer climes (mexico). I can let you know then. Mind you, it's pretty damn cold out here these days, so no guarantees how long I will be willing to spend in the shed looking, nor if I'll even return from Cancun.

Hi Rob.

Thanks so much. That would be great. Take a propane heater with you

On another note I used the nuts/nipples that came with the elbows to make up my long lines and got everything soldered together. Tomorrow Im going to try and make up my vent tubes for the fuel tanks.

Hey Lynn. No problem at all. Was only trying to "bug" you.
