UserID: 576 |  Re: The ThunderWars Armoury It would probably be easier to just replace the pressure relief valve entirely. McMaster-Carr does sell them (perhaps with variable pressure, too), so it's just a matter of determining the pressure you want.

UserID: 1432 | Re: The ThunderWars Armoury Yeah, that's brilliant. Although I'd prefer to simply stiffen it. It's probably easier and you don't have to pay. Also, I don't think McMaster-Carr ship to Australia anyway. There is the odd chance you might even be able to build a simple one.

UserID: 1 | Re: The ThunderWars Armoury Hmm... thought I made a post here. It'd be easiest to replace the entire pump assembly with new valves than to cut out the old valve and fit in a new one. Those valves are all custom and you'll probably have difficulty finding something of the same scale. If you replace the entire assembly by cutting the tubing at the appropriate spots you can even return the gun to the original configuration without any harm done.

UserID: 569 | Re: The ThunderWars Armoury All that you would need to do would be put in a new spring, in place of the old one, no? It seems simple, but is probably hard in the doing of it. It probably is easier to do the disabling. However, if you make WaterWolf's check valve, and use a strong enough spring, then you could potentially use it as a PRV, correct?

UserID: 1431 | Re: The ThunderWars Armoury That is true, however I think that it would be hard to fit it into the specifically set-up system. At this stage, it is power mods for me. Storm

Yeah, in principle it's simple to change the set pressure but in practice it's hard. If the PRV had any sort of adjustment like a dial like a safety valve I have it would be easy but in this case it's not. A modified check valve is how these work basically, so that'd work.
