drilling out check valve...viair leader hoses

Edited: 3/31/2008 9:40:23 PM by 92yota

the check valves stopped working in both my leader hoses, so i put some SMC check valves in line. i was wondering if the the bad check valves are slowing down any air coming through the hoses? because i have heard of people drilling them out and i didn't know if that helped or was safe to do?

anyone?

welcome to the club. Were your comps brand new as well?

no, i have had them for about a year and a half. but i actually replaced one of them with a new leader hose, and the check valve went bad a couple months later. so i said screw it and put the SMC's on both of them. do you know if i can drill the old check valves out, or would it not make a difference?

i have one last post to waste this month, so...bump

bump again, please...

i would just have a new hose made from napa or hardline it. im sure u can drill em out.
