I figure the thicker material makes for more threads at the least and less likely to cross thread maybe.

I've got some original, never been breathed, 1970 air. It's summer air so you can actually use it to fill up your tires.
Starting bid $10.00.....Buy it now for $50. Come on....where are you going to find 1970 air these days?
