12H bell on a 6H/48H slide

Just asking if it is possible to put a 12h bell section on a Conn .500" bore slide. I would think it would not be possible since the connection points would be different sizes since the 12h slide bore is .485".

And a related question, has anyone put a 12h bell on a 6h bell section? Are the parts not even remotely compatible?

Yes, same bell/slide tenon. Have never do e it that way, but have put a .485” slide on a 6H and 48H bell section.

That's good to know. I might try some things with that to see how it goes.

Does anyone know if the 18H uses the same tenons as well?

Yes, 18H should be the same.
