Time cap whistle

[redmatt76]

Hi all. Ive got the av able stormtrooper and love the flavour off of the time cap. But the whistle is doing my nut. Does any of you apes know how to get rid if the whistle noise? Thanx in advance.

You need to put a tiny chamfer on the outside of the air holes. Mine did the same until I took it into work, clamped it in a pillar drill and ever so slightly countersunk the air holes.

Having looked on places like knucklehead it seems like some replacement caps are sold with chamfered holes expressly to stop any whistling.

I can tell you that the tiny chamfer I put on the cap completely stopped the awful whistle.

Cheers for that. I was thinking similar but wasnt sure. I'll give me dremel a go. Cos its a brass cap it should be easier. Cheers once again.
