Pneumatic Connectors.

IMHO the rules concerning pnuematics are to limiting. According to the rules we can only use the parts in the kit. Which would mean that the connectors we are allowed to use are only those found in the kit. But there are a few parts that should be in the kit but aren't. What if i needed a simple brass elbow connector. or a Female to female adapter. These aren't in the kit.

Does anyone else think this is kinda screwy...limiting the connectors...

Some of the parts are also tricky to mount...like panel mounting the gauges...we figure glue is the easiest way...

Am i just interperting the rules wrong?

Yes, they are rather restrictive, but that's the way it has always been. As for the brass elbow, you can always use a "T" and plug one of the holes. Between the hose and the brass fittings, I'm sure you can find a way to make just about anything work.

Theres really no point to an elbow connector in pneumatics, just use a hose...
