Instead of taking off the 90 degree elbow it is easier to unscrew the regulator from the frame then push the body kit bit on from the top

 

[TinFish]

yeah, that's right. If you are changing the body kit that is.

hey all,



managed to get the elbow off eventualy ! When you are putting new elbows on do you have to seal it up with blue loctite or do you think that it will be ok without ?


thanks

 

[modd1uk]

new elbows put PTFE tape on, its white tape that wraps around the threads and prevents threads leaking ( my god i actually sounded like i knew what i was on about then )

 

[ricion]

yeah i though so its the same stuff you us in plumbing threads ! i will give it a try !

 

[Marcus Geezer]

Ptfe?

I don't know myself for sure but I read on another thread that PTFE tape isnt a good idea becuase it can cause small bits of the PTFE tape to enter into your air system and perhaps cause partial or total blockages.

Again, I don't know for sure, it's just what I read on here somewhere.

PTFE tape is all good as long as you keep it on the threads dont go wrapping it all round the ends etc , when you come to take it off again just give it a wipe off inside to make sure there are no little bits in there. I have never had any problems using it on mine.
