    Locking ring for HPRs (to prevent swivelling)

    I'm looking for one of those locking rings like on the AKA 2-liter or Karnivor regulators had on the top -- they can be screwed up against the VASA so the regulator can be slightly turned to adjust the angle of the output macroline fitting. Does anyone know if these can be purchased separately someplace? I don't want pillage one off my other HPRs for this project.

    There's an actual part for this purpose? Lol.

    I have always just used shims or O-rings to clock regulators/drop-out adapters/etc.
    If you need to talk, I will listen. Leave a message and I will call you back as soon as I get it.

      HPRs don't need to be tight to seal... you can leave them a bit loose to line fittings up, air pressure generally tightens everything up and keeps the reg from feeling loose.

      As an option...

        I concur... but the lock collar on a 2-liter or karni hpr feels better IMO.
