I'll take a look at possibly tapping new threads, but then the bigger line won't match the air cell...

i don't think teflon tape will hold the PSI. tape is for low pressure fittings i think. gas and water.

I might be able to heli coil the valve port. i don't know. those brake line type fittings are precision i think.

I'll prob have to bit the bullet and order a new valve.

i'm mostly just pissed at the self inflicted wound....
