Title: jets question
Post by: macmac on March 24, 2007, 07:54:57 pm

got a new vikan with 3mm jets in (thats how it came) but i want to replace them with 2mm ones. can i do a direct swap or will the holes drilled in the brush for the 3mm ones be too big? ???

any advise welcomed

If they are brass just solder the ends up and redrill them at 2mm

My first pole came with a Vikan brush supplied by Gardiners that had 3mm jets they had run out of 2mm I think, they sent replacements as soon as they had new stock in and I dont remember any problems swapping them over.

The jets in your brush will be too big to just swap over to our 2mm jets, but what you can do is drill a new 4.8mm hole next to the old holes and push-fit the new jets in.
