namba209 is on a distinguished road
Bob, I was planning on getting two reducers, one from 2 1/2 to 2 and one from 2 to 1 1/2, that way it will be about 6" long , but if I can go from 1 1/2 to 3 like you said, the taper will maybe be shorter, I didn't check the length of that particular reducer. I'll go to their website and check it out. I would like to surface grind the flanges after the welding, but it would be kinda hard to have a magnetic table hold the asssembly flat with the tubes already welded to the flanges. But I'll check with the machine shop and see if it can be done that way. Thanx again for the ideas. Your expertise is outstanding, as usual.

Ron
