I need new nipples
Just wondering, I have a set of Robart retracts, 605HD's for my Spitfire. Do the nipples on the air cylinders unthread? Can you buy 90 degree nipples for them?
Thanks
Thanks

It was purposeful, it's a lot more tame than anticipated though, quite disappointing really; too many guys with RC on their mind all the time

HUGHES, I was looking at the drawing of the retracts 605HD, and the lines on the nipple shows that it is a hex,so I would say you can unthread the nipple. I don't know the size, but being that small, most likely it will be a straight thread,and you should find what your are looking for at McMASTER CARR. pub
