the water outlet is just a block of aluminum that bolts up to the head with another piece of aluminum tube sticking straight up, then curved to accept a hose....
The hollow dowels keep the gasket from moving around and are important if you are using bolts, that said... I usually drill and tap for 7/16 bolts so that I...
