By the time you buy fittings at almost $5.00 a piece x 4, a pipe tap for almost $8.00, copper tubing,(don't know if you can buy short pieces)$??? and the piece of 1 inch aluminum plate $??? and running all over town to find all of the parts' I think the kit from vendors is going to be the cheapest route for me. Does anybody know of any other vendors that sell the 2 tube kit?? If not I think I will go with the Jim Carter kit. I don't want water. Just another chance for a leak. Thanks for all of the replies.
