Gladhand Seals

[steelandcanvas]

Looked at my gladhand seals last week before towing my M105 to the Memorial Day Parade in Commerce City, Colorado. They were weather checked, and just in general sorry shape. Searched the Web trying to find replacements and found them at my local Fastenal Store. They were 68 cents apiece with a minimum order of 10 to make it $6.80. If you haven't looked at yours lately, do so. It was a cheap fix, and now no worries about air leakage.

Its good practice to have a half dozen extras in the tool box too.

I hang em on the directional signal lever.

A very light "finger-wiping" application of "Armor-all" adds life to them. Especially if they're going to spend more time exposed to the elements than actually being used.

There's a Fastenal near me. I think I'll pick up a couple ten.

Thanks!

I like to give them a quick shot of silicone spray and keep the covers on them when not in use.
