Hi I used a 35mm coupler cut the coupler in half with pipe cutter which leaves a nice rounded burred edge inserted ptfe gasket inserted this glass in http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/301942894884? ... EBIDX%3AIT
tested the glass in the oven at 350 it takes the heat well and very cheap and inserted a small piece of 35mm pipe inside to lock it all together had 2 runs through it so far with no problems

Good work indeed.

Did you seal the piece of pipe in or just press it in.

'scuse me asking, but your user name does suggest someone time served in the automotive industry,- Red Stag being the old cure-all for a leaky gasket, slap it on, screw it down and never hope to seperate those two parts again?
Don't ask how I know such things :D

Mash I tweeked the pipe with an expander and pressed it in hoping I don`t need to take apart for leaks Easy drinker I like your thinking but no I just drink a lot of Jim Beam Red Stag I am getting to the age where I will soon have a leaky gasket lol
