Dye do an aluminium (aluminum to you yanks) insert that fits up into the neck of the hopper or into the feed tube on your marker. This closes the gap... I think that planet have got them on their website. I'll check!

Dye Hopper Inserts (Alloy)
This item expands the hopper if you have a New(ish) Revolution that doesn't fit in some vert feed elbows. £4.25

Go to the planet shop (www.planeteclipse.com) then to the manufacturers product list. Click on Dye and it's near the bottom!

I believe that some hoppers have different thinckness' of feed adapter- there's like a 7/8" and 1".
So You can either get one of those screw on elbow for your guns feed and put the hopper in the other end and screw it on that way. Or samson300 said, add some duct tape. Thinner electrical tape is usally pretty good too and it comes off easy enough if you move ure hopper to a different paintgun.

Both options are cheap and one should fix the problem. (The elbows only cost about $2-3)

:D

I have also read that sand paper has been used but that might be bad because if could ruff up the feed tube and hopper. Just an idea. Duct tape is a good option. i use it and it work fine.

My method of choice! It doesn't leave all the sticky residue of duct tape. Oh, and don't tape the hopper to the gun. Just put some tape around the bottom of the hopper to make the neck thicker. It looks like crap when someone has 4 pounds of tape holding their hopper on.
