Default did I buy the wrong jet?

I thought all brass jets were the same and I ordered a .062 from Nitrous Outlet. It just came in today. I have the nos 5177 kit and they look different. The new one has a shorter fatter stem on it. My old ones has a longer thiner stem.

if you have NOS brand plate you should be using NOS brand jets. get the stainless ones they are more precise. different manufacturers use different designs.

I already bought the damn thing and I'm out 16 bux with shipping. Can I drill out the fitting a little and make it work? The flare part is the same size.

You might be able to drill it out but check with the manufacturer first before destroying anything.

We have had people that have drilled out the fitting on the nozzle to get our jets to work.

I really don't want to do that if I don't have to. I spoke to Dave yesterday via pm and he is going to look at my order and pm me back something. Can you guys just send me the nos brand .062 with a RMA and I'll send this one back? I just looked at it and have not tried to install it. Thanks for the help. I thought they were all the same
