    capped valves?

    So I've got a couple unused classic valves and wanted to put them to use...got a couple questions about capped valves

    Where can you get a cap for the valve?
    Will any regulator work?
    What regulators are most 'consistent'?

    Thanks

    Deus Machina was making them but seems to have vampored. I have a PM to him but he has yet to reply.

    As a side note I need a cheap valve if you're looking to sell. Stress cheap.

        You're gonna want a regulator with a high recharge rate. I use Sidewinders on mine. If you need a cap let me know.

              yes they are still in stock and still produced. be sure not to get the sst sidewinder its range is 0-400 psi and doesnt like high inputs.

                ITT the older Sidewinders are actually better looking. If using for a pump, you don't need to worry about recharge as much. I have a SW on a Pneu project, but on a pump I have a BL reg that works quite well.

                FF, I may be interested in a cap if you're making them.

                  I tried to get XMT to make some. I'm sure he is taking a break.

                      Think you're confusing XMT and XM15.

                          I need a cap. You still willing to do a run? Would like to bump this and see what we can get made. Anyone else?

                            Ironicly enough I just sent XMT a message again to try and twist his arm. I want 2 so I can cap both of my McFly Mags. I would like to find a way to have the cap completely flush with the back also.

                              Not sure if it would be possible to have it flush due to the air passage. Just something very simple would do me fine. Not wanting to derail this into 20 different special requests and having a potential milling person drop it.
