Guest Scuba1 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Nope you don't have to take the stock of. Drill a hole 0.5mm larger then the core of the thread of the stud. Countersink it a little bit. Then get some 2 component epoxy glue ( Patex neural or similar ) put that on the stud and screw it in. Make sure, that the hole in the stud is at right angle to the stock. Wait for the glue to cure. Job done HTH Michael Quote Link to post

SEAN3513 7 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 don't have to remove stock................but would be highly reccomended to do so. if you slip with your drill and end up hitting the air cylinder with the best part of 200 bar in it feck me thats going to hurt. be careful and good luck. all the best sean Quote Link to post
SEAN3513 7 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 oh aye...............and put some masking tape on the stock where you are going to drill....to save any damage !! also makes it easier to mark and see the position of the stud. cheers sean Quote Link to post

So I took a bit of brains here for granted, fair enough. Second thing is even if you hit the air tank with the drill and it was under pressure you would have to drill a bit to get that thing punctured and if you did, the thing in not going to explode like a party balloon either. so please keep it real. I had a dive centre for 8 years and had a few hoses and things blow at 300 bar and although it is noisy, its not semtex. ATB Michael Quote Link to post
