I tore the gun down to put in a hammer spring tensioner/washer a month ago and modified the barrel and probe by elongating them a bit to give me a little more omph for slug shooting. I was looking around the house for sumpthin I could use for a plenum when I stumbled across heavy-impacts post and he was using the YH filter. I really wanted to wait for my VS and new hammer spring before I dove in but it's been over a week since I phoned in my order and even after a couple more e-mails I have not heard a thing from FX. I was posed to get an email back from them with a link to pay but didn't. So I went ahead with the mods I could do. I ordered a cheap 10mmx1 gauge from aliexpress and an M10x1 to 1/8bsp male adapter from eBay a few weeks back. The plenum was going to be hanging in the air by the adapter and I did not like the looks of it. So, I made a Delrin tube that fits over the adapter and tightens in place at the same time both ends of the adapter seal to their Delrin seals on both the gun and in the YH filter. The plenum is on there really good with no wobble nor the chance of any. I was concerned about leakage but had none. The new M10x1 gauge is sealed with one of the YH seals it's a kind of washer with rubber inside it that I forgot the name of.
(dowty seal) Thanks John. It is holding pressure now so testing tomorrow.
Tore the gun apart
Had to modify the valve housing drilled a smallish hole in it so the plenum can breathe through it. No it's not finished yet. Got the VS o-ring figured out.
The Delrin tube on the top of the plenum makes it much less likely the thing can be torn off in the event of a drop or similar accident.
These are the only parts I needed for the install of the plenum the adapter, dowdy seal, spacer and the two small Delrin seals that came already installed inside the gun and with the YH filter.

The finished product testing tomorrow. This should allow me to lower my reg pressure a bit as I am running at the limits over 150bar now.
