Yes, it is a VA system. I moved the cross brace out one inch. I cut some one inch long pieces of one inch diameter round aluminum rod and chucked them in my lathe and drilled the hole through the center. You could just stack washers to get the length you need.
Thanks, that is what it looked like. Opened my mail box today and all the hose fittings arrived. Was going to just order hoses from VA but when I measured would have had a bunch of extra length looping around the inside.
