It looks like one of those 2-1/2 to 3" adapter maybe?? Or 3 to 3-1/2?


I was some sort of adapter.. I forgot the exact name of it but you can get it at any hardware/plumbing place.

got a picture of the rear of the housing.
good work too

For some reason I cant find the pics of back

.. To secure the back, strips of sheet metal were cut and mounted where the stock bolts were on the back of the projector and the screwed into the pvc. It held it there nice and tight fit.. and you were also able to bend and move the projector with some force at the end to aim and such.
