Hey I was wondering if I could just drill 1/8" holes in the fittings on my R/T and put a 1/8" hose on instead of buying a 1/8" flow control and barb for $20?

Let me know what you guys think.

	No you can't. The 1/16th references the outer diameter of the barb, not the inner diameter.

	tippmannparts.com has the 1/8 flow control valve, the 1/8 hose, and the 1/8 banjo fitting. It also has the 1/8 barb but do I need that if i get the other 3 parts?

	lol you the same guy that asked me on my youtube Super RT video? Anyway, no I don't think that would work too well. The parts are pretty small and aren't really expensive, and you can even buy them in a package deal, so I'd just go with that.
