thanks again pvtdonunt, ok guys i got the res!
no more this Tline madness.. got some ideas for the
res, just need to get the right drill bit size! 11.8mm is
hard to find and ordering is just to expensive

theres a weird stain that i cant get out. looks like its
worked its way into the acrylic and/or between the
glue, ideas? ive tried to clean out the res, but its hard
so i just gave it a nice bath in some warm water and
soap.

for sure the top is going to get rethreaded for G1/4
and the bottom is going to be tapped as well. just
need to think of a interesting way to mount it.

cheers
