    Matt,
    Yep! Your right Matt - good ideas!! however it would probably
    require the
    insert tube to be at angle and as Paul suggested it may not be as
    nice and
    direct a shot as straight in, maybe some turbulence - but not enough to
    worry.
    Will It work !? That outside hole is getting much bigger however.

Paul,

You posted some pics a while back of a housing that had been bored to
accept the p-port insert.  Please repost them..


Thanks,

Matt-

OK Matt but you guys need to prove these ideas before anybody
changes the way we have been doing it for the last 30 years.
Send me some 3D's of what you have in mind.
