Why are you buying a new neck? The reason I am asking is if
it is for a new tank install you may want to look for the
later model neck.

When I had to replace my tank I had to upgrade from the
older neck to the newer one (I dont know the model year it
changed). I was told at the time that you wont find ANY new
air cooled tanks, that you just buy a newer tank and install
a new neck.

I'm afraid I don't have the old neck, nor do I know where
you could obtain one.

Thanks,
Chris
