can you not measure the diameter of the flame trap?

My fitting was actually quite loose compared to the flame trap tho.

I could but its still fitted, and I wanted to save some time by fitting it when i take out the trap...........

If I get a chance I might take it out, just easier for me to sort the adaptor now before the trap is out...........hence why I need some measurements.

Well suprisingly I just went and had a look and it came out first pull.



No worries now then, I thought it might be a real pain in the A getting it out since I know they can get corroded in the block............

its the best part of 20mm (ive got about 19.96mm) for anybody else who might like to know
