Well Fairly simple ?? I use the bottom half of an old Champion W 18 spark 
plug, it  is the same thread.,
The pin is used to hold everything together in line while it is being 
welded. I have a friend that is a great welder as you can see by the pic's
Having a lathe and a mill is pretty handy! You do want to have things lined 
up true if you do not want leaks down the road, also you have to be very 
careful not to get too high on the stem as there are passages that are 
important!
