help on cocker reg

[Silky]

a simple one here but its got me stumped. the 90 degree connector on my front reg points out to the left whereas i want it facing back toward the trigger frame like in this pic

ive tried totally taking it off and rescrewing it in hoping the thread will catch at a different point but no joy, any ideas?

As long as you are using Loctite 638 when screwing it in, you should be able to line the elbow up where you want it and then leave the loctite to set it into place.

Crossed wires there methinks!!

Don't loctite the vert reg into the marker, it'll be a bitch to get out.

Depending on the vert reg you have on your marker, there may be more than one place you can screw it into - there will be a small plug with a hex hole in it - you can remove it with an allen key (will more than likely be a bitch to remove, due to being loctited) and swap it for the elbow.

You can leave the vert reg slightly unscrewed from the ASA, but I'd always try and get it in as far as it goes to help prevent unwanted leaks.

As Bugout said...if its a Black Magic like on that Nexus...you may find that you can unwind the reg a touch, and the grub screw will be in the right place...tighten it, to crack the loctite, then wind it out, swap for the 90 degree elbow...then replace grubscrew with loctite in other side..pop in airing cupboard, or on radiator for a bit.

Or, if you unwind teh reg a touch, to get it in the right place, maybe use an o-ring at teh top inside the vert ASA..should seal up fine under pressure, and wont wobble.
