Ian,

That is exactly how I set up all my stalok fittings, by following Brion's instructions to a tee.
I was very confident in my work until a rigger passing by my boat glanced at a fitting and stated that he thought to many threads were showing.
That is why I started this thread. Brian Duff thought a properly installed stalok would still show 2 or 3 threads on the cylinder and that is what I have,
I will look over all fittings real good, and if I find any that I feel needs attention, I will take the fitting off and go from there.
Thanks for the advise.
Fair winds to all.
Bob
