Hi Mard,

I have lots of adapters for various things, but one can never have 
too many. In any given instance one always has a lot to go through, 
but seems never to be able to find exactly the right one.

I'm still searching for a 542 046 for which there is almost certainly 
a 14... number as well, but I haven't discovered it. It's a 40x0.75mm 
female to 39LTM male adapter.

It's always something.
