I think I know the answer.... but!
I've fabricated the vent line and am trial fitting the parts before mixing proseal and riveting the end on. I'm finding that the AN832-4D is ever so slightly bigger than the anti-rotation plate already riveted onto T1003B-R. There is no proseal in the way, the plate just is a hair narrow.
Rather than work on the plate and maybe mess up the rib, can I just buff down the edge of the union to get clearance? I can't see why not but it is blue, and maybe there is some sort of corrosion reason not to mess with that?
Secondly, I think I have to proseal this union into the hole. Then apply the nut to the union to hole it in from the outiside. ? Any tips on ways to not make a huge mess here?
