Bob, 
I may be the one who recommended the Ron Francis switch. I didnâ??t use it on 
my Healey. I used it on my 64 Jaguar MK2. It worked just fine - no thread 
incompatibility problems. No leaks at all. It is hard to believe that the brass 
pipe junction on the Jag has a different thread than the Healey, but obviously 
something must be different. I apologize if I steered you in the wrong 
direction. I no longer have the Jag so I canâ??t check for you. Perhaps someone 
else will chime in.
