Silicone tip "nipple"
« on: 27 June 2013, 12:44 »
Just got my silicone tip and noticed while reading thru the guide I found on fitting one that the metal nipple for the vacuum isn't there!! Do indeed it??

It's on a AUM ko3s

Cheers

If the one at the top is just blanked off I can sort that  :smiley: but the one at the bottom, is that just a small piece of tube so that you can put a jubilee clip round the vacuum hose to hold it there???

Anyone  :cool: wanted to fit it tonight, pinched a couple of valves from the spray gun spares box at work I have one that fits the feed at the turbo end so if its just something to hold the vacuum hose to I will crack on with it!!!

Sould I use something to "glue" the valve or just use one that's a nice tight fit???

you can cut a bit of rubber pipe to make a coupler and put a tight fitting bolt into it as a temporary fix  .
then use one of these Silicone Blanking Caps when you get it  :smiley:
