Broken Valvebody !!!

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello!
Yesterday i want to put my A5 together, after my Powertube was broken because i used the first O-Ring since i´ve got her, it get´s between the shell and tube and the Tube lost the fight !!!
So i get a new (used one) from a friend and a new Hammer O-Ring too !!! Then i thought nothing will stop me now so i was putting all parts together and cleaned and oiled them then i see what i never thought the the strong aluminumbody is broken next to where the Tompstone gets in !!!
Has anyone ever had this problem ???
Where should i get a new valvebody there is no dealer who sell´s that thing ??? (The only help i know which is next to me is the Tippmann support at the EuroBG in Sept. but it´s a long time !!!)

If i will use it still my new Tube will get hurt when it breaks i think so !!!

	I would try n find a replacement on ebay.com If you can't wait until september (only 1 month away really), then order a used a5 off of ebay, and use that part. That's what I did to rebuild my old 98. Used A5's usually go for 90$ or so. They're pretty cheap.

	Thank you for the ideas !!! But here in germany you have to pay for a used stock one 150€ i think so(new one 250€). And you also need an F inside a 5 corner´s if not i will get trouble with the germanborderpolice !!! I´ve found someone who has this part left he will send it to me and if not i will contact Tippmann ! Thanks for the moment !!!
