Tippmann Valve Retaining screws?

[Toestr]

As luck would have it, I've stripped out the threads on my 98's valve. From what I can tell, the only function they served is to stop the valve from moving back and forth, and possibly splitting the powertube.

Is it safe to say that I could drill out the holes in the valve , and thread the holes in the body, and just have the screws act as 'guiderods'?

The same thing happened to mine. I just tapped the holes for slightly wider screws.

You can actually take a metric thread, I think an M4? and it will self tap into stripped 10-32 threads.
