on chris's 26/30 the fitting have been made loose, so he could turn them around to make plumbing his catch can easier but they were already like that when he got the covers. im thinking i would like to remove mine without the use of heat, cutting, welding etc so i could cut threads into them for -12 speedflow fittings..... i know i could cut them off and use weld on fittings but i dont want to wreck my pretty paint work
