cheer m8, might have to do it yet, managed to jam a section of tube inside the hole and jammed the nipple over that, was the red tube from a wd40 can lol, had to chamfer it down a bit with a stanley tho to get a nice snug fit, just hope it doesnt pop off

just to note i got this sorted and also, when i was extending my boost gauge hose i dint have anything to connect the hoses so ended up using the tube from a lolly and tie wrapping it tight, seems all is well :)
