I bought parts from Ron and have an issue with the base when reassembling. I'm not sure if the hole was drilled out wrong, if it was drilled to match his inner tube or whatever else could be the issue. My meter came as it is in the attached picture. The inner tube is 1 1/2 but the hole in the base that I got from Ron has a 1'' hole. I can barely get the electrical tube and the copper line through the 1'' hole and have no room left to crew the inner pipe on if I even had one that was 1''. Also the outer tube I got from Ron is about 27 3/4 tall and my inner pipe is 33 1/4 tall. I know some of it goes up inside the ring and through the base but we're talking about a large gap. Am I missing an adapter or something? Any help would be appreciated.
