Replacement Hydrolastic pump connectors

Post by rolesyboy »

My Hydrolastic pump connectors are a bit tired.
Does anybody know of any good sources for the bits?
Thanks

Hi Mark

The double ended threaded bit 21A1524? I am just about to make some stainless ones up either today or tomorrow, or minispares do a steel plated one

Thanks Gordon. I meant the connectors on my Churchill pump (Dalek)
Interesting to hear you are making the double ended connector in stainless though. Send us a link if you do
Cheers

There are loads on ebay, just not cheap.

This may be a cheaper option, but you'd have to check it would be OK.

Yet ANOTHER masterstroke from Catmint. Making the double ended adaptor that connects the front hydro units to the pipes, from stainless.

You've only got to have a look at your originals to see how the 5mm (or it is 6) hole has corroded up to zilch to become the valve from hell!

GOOD move Catmint.

Hello Mark,
I've used the the same ones you're enquiring about for years with no problems.
I buy them from SkyGeek in the USA ...about $30.00 US ...Schrader 556 High-pressure Strut Coupler.
Regards,
Glen
