Subject: Freak Barrel / f4 Illustrator valveplug problem

Hey all. I just bought a brand spanking new Freak Barrel system (which cost me more than my f4, heh). the problem is that the freak barrel is so wide that the bottom of the barrel is knocking into the top of the front valve plug. It looks like I'm going to have to grind about 6mm off the top of my valve plug to fit the barrel on.

I think Im relativly safe griding the top of the valve plug flat since:

1. The valve plug threads with the same side up every time.
2. The valve plug seal oring is inside the marker, so I shouldn't have to worry about leaking air if I grind the outside of it flat.

Has anyone else had this problem?
If so, can anyone give some advice here?
If I screw it up, can a new valve plug be purchased?
Much appreciated.
