Step 2
I basically had to come up with a way to connect the hose to the inside of the cap so that it would stay connected
I tried to glue it together with crazy glue, but apparently air hose and the quick connect valves don't like each other.
what I came up with was have the valve on the inside of the cap instead of the top of the cap. I then drilled out just enough of the inside of the valve so that the 1/4 inch airhose could go completely through the valve and out the top end of the cap.
I basically used a 1/4 drill bit and just slowly drilled out the valve.
Make sure that you go in the direction that the air hose will be going so that it dosn't push out the inside of the valve...IE, go in the direction of the valve.
