Unfortunately, this is on a NEW core from vendor....of aluminum.......
I'll try and get the adapter as short as I can get it.....and then shorten the heater tube by some unknown amount....and get the valve back in it's approximate stock location! Lower by a 1/4" wouldn't hurt....easier to get hose on then!
I am of the nature to have my copper core fixed and reinstall....except that while moving it around in the garage the other day, I think I cracked one of the heater tubes! (It already had the AC side broken......!) Can't win here...!
