I'm doubtful. They're such a strange size and thread. Much smaller that the universal sizes available not.

No problem! Turns out they won't leak if you turn them upside down like the directions say. I'd use teflon tape on each side of the heat shrink. Good luck!

Has anyone else tried this? Its a great idea but it won't tighten up enough with heat shink. Unless I'm doing something wrong I can pull it apart fairly easily and I can imagine during actual use the shock top will come off. I was really looking forward to using this technique...

Maybe the shrink tube you're using is a bit thinner than mine. Although. I will say that I could pull them apart by hand also but not easily enough to where they've fallen apart during use. Use some super glue if you're too worried. Or you could use some teflon tape on the threads first
