Pseries old valve to new cartridge valve

[Ed]

I have a PMI-1 that the jam nut threads are pretty much stripped out. I want to remove that part and replace with a new style cartridge valve. If anyone here has done or know of some post somewhere to show how to do it, I would greatly appreciate it.

IIRC from Big Matt and Punisher it was a PITA to do.

As in not worth the effort PITA.

Exactly what Im hearing. Im also hearing that it might be ok, as its steel vs brass. Going to try a different jam nut to see. Now, finding that jam nut.......

Just what I figured... jamming your own nuts is just painful.

but if your like me, then you have to ask your wife for your nuts from her purse, right next to the checkbook.....

I was able to resurrect the PMI-1 as the jam nut just needed a little love. It shoots fantastic now.
