These panels are 6.5' long and a bit less than 3' wide.
It looks like it was originally sort of a doubled hose clamp sort of a device that would connect the two.
The panels were Sawzalled apart, so some of the copper tube is either jagged or short. I will have to take the frame apart to get better access to the 1" copper manifold to be able to clean it up and and solder anything on there.
Just soldering a union straight on there sounds like a pretty good idea.
I will let you know more when I actually get some time to work on it!

In the mean time, can we get some more detailed pics?
