Hi everyone. I had some problems with the boiler in my Rancilio Silvia V2, so I decided to upgrade it to V4 spec: I bought the new boiler (from Ferrari Espresso, UK), full steam cock, and steam knob. I managed to fit everything, apart from the boiler - the male-to-male brass steam junction (the bit that attaches the pipes to and from the pump) won't fit in the correct orientation. It seems the threads start in a different place on the different boilers. has anyone else noticed this? I think this is the part: http://www.ferrari-espresso.com/product ... -rancilio/

I'm getting a little frustrated with this!
