Bleeder screw, Deuce air pack

[sgtrisk]

Hi folks! Merry Christmas!!

By any chance, have any of you ever replaced the actual bleeder screw on an M35A1 hydraulic air pack? Know where I might find an exact replacement??

The silly TM doesn't show that bleeder as a replaceable part, although the bleeder for the wheel cylinder IS replaceable. By replaceable, I mean obtainable, of course. I actually purchased three new bleeder screws for the wheel cylinders, but they are almost twice as long as the one on the air pack. They fit, but... well, you know.

I'll wager that most of the replies will be "just use the ones I have," but I would like to use something more "fitting." (Sorry about the pun!!)

Thanks!!!

Any help display or good parts store should have or get.

You might be able to call one of the surplus dealers and see if they have anything. They might tell you to just use any bleeder valve with the same thread pitch, but its worth a shot.

Find one yet? PM me if your still looking.

I have one for the short airpak. I have no idea if they are the same or not.

The one I have is serviceable. I just figured that while I was rebuilding the unit and going to so much trouble that I'd replace the valve. You know how easily they strip the nut when removing them after they've been tight for a while! I haven't been to a "real" parts place yet. Advance Auto didn't have one. And I haven't really done a search on Ebay yet, since I don't have a part number for the shorter unit. So... thanks for all the replies!! I'll see what I can find at Napa or something... or perhaps Gimpy has something... I keep getting stuck on his posts as I'm scrolling through the threads. Something about his holiday spirits on his avatar...

His avatars do catch the eye.

Good luck finding a valve. I'm sure you'll find one that will work.
