This reg is the mother of all but the connections are face seal.
Is this a quality regulator?

Some guy is selling full SS post body over Barr report. I bought several items from him before. He's legit.

no. currently eBay doesn't have this part. call Swagelok and ask them for a 1/4 VCR to 1/4 NPT hex nipple then you're set.

That post body kit is very pricey. Look at my posts. I have listed out all the sources.

Same here, I hate waiting and sourcing all the parts. Took me 3-4 weeks to get similar parts a saving of $30-$40. I rather just get it and be done with it if I do it over again.
only thing i am still looking for is a low flow metering valve, have not found the one i want,
