a pic of half of the manifold block and the short tubes with the fittings. you can see the solder job was shoddy and also the tube is kinda rough. Temporary fix for now will have to be clean and re sweat both fittings til I can figure a way around the bad tubes.
Cant find a used block with funky tubes like these and my hoses wont reach a block without them, so for now Hope it will hold for the season til I find a different way to connect the hoses to the block. I will probably have to get longer hoses too which is no problem.
