Need HELP!!! Broke my calcium reactor.

[Hoosier daddy]

I am really bummed today,I was moving my calcium reactor today and broke the union part that enters into the acrylic chamber. It is an MRC-2 and I talked with Andy at MRC there and he said it can be fixed but I need a Spears union, a 3/4" holesaw and 1/2" tap. I need somebody that is pretty handy at working with this stuff for a helping hand. Can anyone help me PLEASE. Thanks.

damn a 1/2" tap is pretty big(i'm guessing 1/2" pvc tap). they do sell it at lowes if someone doesn't have it here though(but its like $30 or more). Good luck.

I think I have both the hole saw & the tap. I'll try to remember to look tonight.

Although it probably wouldn't be the best condition but if Stu doesn't have the right hole saw you could probably use a 1/2" drill and then sand it out to 3/4" if you feel cheap(not sure how well it will work with the tap). I did that for my reactor but I didn't need to tap anything.
