a note in addition to Nates good advice is to use #2 or #3 AN
stainless braided hose and fittings with the correct pipe thread
adapters. allows for ease of head removal as well as SUPER easy to
assemble and kinda looks like its functional.
any local rod shop should stock it as well as adapters. all you need
is to know length and have 2 wrenches and some pipe thread sealer and
you are done. if you cut to length just wrap electrical tape around
hose and hacksaw through and then take tape off.
if you cant find then

both carry and jegs is fast shipping!
