Default OS needle valves

In the last week I have found 3 needle valve housing outlet nipples
broken. Two on my OS46FXi and one on my OS40LA. The housing is
made of plastic and the nipples are very thin. Is there a replacement
valve that I can use that is made of metal?

Yes -- buy the NV assembly for a Tower 46.

Thanks britbrat. I have a Tower 46 so I might take it from there for now.

The Magnum .46 XLS is a clone of the OS FX engine and comes with a seperate, bolt one, remote needle valve assembly and longer screws, so you have the option of either front or rear needle valve. Global Hobbies list the part at http://globalservices.globalhobby.com/part/21075602.asp
It is part # 281800 540874F Needle Valve Assembly with mount. Sells for $15.99 and is all metal, rather than plastic.

Hope this helps,
