Mini trouble

[vanilla228]

Hey guys

So I gassed my mini up on sunday to play a good ol' walk-on day (there was about 40 walk-ons there so I was super psyched) when I heard a pop and gas was streaming out of my grip frame.
After quickly taking the gas off and stripping it down I found that the part that connects the lower transfer tube to the regulator had blown itself apart.

(This isn't the actual part it's just an image I found floating about on the interweb)

Turned out there was only 1/8 of a millimeter holding it on, definitely not enough to withstand that amount of air pressure.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so I will probably call them up about it if not then I will just get a new part.

By the way I did not break it myself through over tightening it

Either contact the shop you bought it from, or contact Leah from KEE and she can help you.

Thats fairly normal practice for damaged goods mate. You wouldnt send your ford back to America, you would take it to the local dealer you purchased it from.

(i have no idea if fords are american anymore, it was just an example )
