i used copper for all mine. 16mm is a 15mm pipe with an olive compressed on, 19mm is not far off the outside of a 15mm solderring fitting. Its a bit
of a bodge but it gets the job done. Mine lasted many trackdays with a lot worse things done than that! Such as a 28mm fitting soldered inside a 35mm
pipe!

As you only need a small decrease in size, how about wrapping some self-amalgamating tape arount the smaller spigot?
Cheers,

if you get a small piece of stainless 16mm tube and a piece of 19mm x 1,5mm tube it should be easy to get it working..

Now a 19 to 16 is a reduction
