Hi all

Ive just fitted a front mount and all the pipe run however i dont have the dump valve t piece so ive just put a pipe there with no hole in it for the dump valve.

question is,, the small pipe that goes on the end of the dump valve , can i just block it off ? like bend it and zip tie for now untill i get a t piece

also does anyone know where i can get an alloy pipe with a dump valve exit 30cm long, cgb claim to sell them but dont reply to emails

Cheers

Just block it off with a screw, or remove it totally by removing the T piece it goes to with just a single vacuum hose.

As for the T piece, like Spooky said dont bother, sounds nicer without plus you wont get any trouble with air leaks :)
