Dale,

I  had purchased and finished four (4) teak spacer/trim rings thinking that they would be needed. However, after removing the existing ports, seeing the gap, and doing a little math, I decided that installing the 5/8 inch thick trim rings/spacers would shorten the over hang (exposed spigot) too much for me. I wanted at least an 1/2 of inch of the actual port spigot to extend past the outer SS ring for both functionality (proper drip rail) and appearance. Quick Math: 1/8 (liner) + 3/8 (gap) + 2/8 (coach roof)  = 3/4 plus the 1/8"  for the Stainless Steel trim ring,  I was looking at  7/8 + 5/8 = 1 1/2"

Bummer what to do with the 4 nice finished ready for install teak spacers????
