I said i didnt want to re-position the blowgun... its the only comfy spot for me, with my short arms

You should put one of those safety pop-off valves there. I'm pretty sure they're the same thread size as most gauges and it would be good for your safety.

Yeah true, not sure if they sell them in aus, especially in our localhardware stores thanks anyway. Well i puta bolethrew the hole, added someteflon to the threads and applied some arildite, and now its all good, thank you so much for your help everyone, muchly appreciated :D

Thanks again, Thursto.
