thought of that jim. Even thought of welding a piece in after i did tht since i dont know if i can trust it to seal air tight, but I refuse to do any unneccessary welding on cast parts since most arent made anymore. It tore me apart to cut a spot in the main suction tubes, but the one end has been brazed anyways, and to me its an upgrade.

Now I'm not going to be able to do what u suggest, without worring about it sucking air, if I dont use some sort of sealant. The good thing is that i can change the filter easily. From experience, if properly used, sealants such as teflon tape is not an issue. I used it on about 20 fittings and when i took out the filter that was messed up, there was only a very very small piece stuck on it under a bunch of dirt, so it was probably there long before i touched it. The key is to start the tape about 2 threads in and DO not let it over the end of the pipe.
I'll figure out something, but if someone out there has one, i'd much much rather use that.

For now I'm gonna work on fixing this house amp for a customer and do my taxes, then maybe look at working on it, dunno quite yet.
