Solas reduction nozzle issue

[critracer]

I purchased a Solas reduction nozzle for a 140mm pump but it doesn't fit correctly. The pilot bore on the reduction nozzle is way bigger than the pilot on the pump and there is a small gap around the outside and specifically at the top where the bilge vacuum line would be. The Solas nozzle does not have provisions for the vacuum lines so they just block off. The mounting bolt holes line up with the pump. What gives with this thing is not for a 140mm pump?

That does not look like a Solas nozzle. I think it's one that used to be sold out of the Hot Products catalog. I've had them fit that way and not cause an issue, I do think that it's made for the 140mm pumps. Just hit it with a thin coat of sealant when you assemble.
