I was again very hesitant to attempt the Ghost Lab 42’s “Custom Brass Fittings & Tubing” kit, as it takes some tricky grinding to get the job done. But after a good ‘ol fashioned pep talk from the man himself, Doug convinced me to give it a try. My biggest concern was the grinding of the top portion of the box that houses the brass fitting. I was worried I would mess it up and the brass fitting wouldn’t cover my mistakes.

I was very careful, taking my time with the Dremel speed set pretty slow and it turns out it was easier than I thought. The tricky part for me was using the Dremel to carve out the mount on the inside as it needed to be flat for the nut. Again, I took my time and made the cuts needed to secure the brass fitting without screwing anything up.

I was kind of on the fence about whether I wanted to change the brass fittings at all as I thought I was happy with the stock setup. But damn, after getting the new kit installed, it makes such a big difference I’m so glad I did it.
