Manchester 5lb tank for SSP

I've rehabed a few SSP. Recently I did 2 that I installed new Manchester tanks. The tanks are not available with the Quick Release valve anymore, they now come with an ACME valve installed. If you buy a new reg for SSP from weber they come with ACME fittings. You can also get the parts from many hardware stores to convert original hoses and regulators to ACME.
The bigger problem is that the tank sits too high in the tank holder and prevents the control panel from sitting correctly.
New regulator assembly from Weber:
After-market parts for converting old regulator assembly:
Poor fit:
New tank:
Old Tank:
1/2" Poly pipe
This is what the modifications measured when complete. Not as short as the original, but it still works.
