well i have had no reply back from the USA so gave Chris whistler . a ring i ask'd if he could re thread dummy piston and fit new schrader valve, which is a fair bit of work. for this it would cost £95 as he would need the whole ram to test it as well. well luckily for me i managed to drill old valve out . the ones at best fittings are £14 and one from TR robb was only £10 . but best fittings were very helpful. and very quick to re-fund me my money so all in all i had a good result.

Yes TRRobb gets a fair bit of bad feedback but good result.ive had a couple of the old mk1 hammers from him and they have been spot on and cheaper than what people sell them 2nd hand.
