   magnex are sleeve join and your standard centre section join is an olive join thats why. You could cut the olive join off the centre section, slide that into the magnex pipe, bolt up. Alternatively, you could source the magnex centre section for it, or weld it.

   The magnet fits much further up the standard centre section than the standard back box as prickle says. The magnex is also a much larger bore than your standard centre section so you will need a reducer to get the, to marry up
