VALVE BLOCK O-RINGS

[loanrangie]

Are the o-rings easily matched from local suppliers or are there some odd sizes, before i go order from OS.

Probably, but to avoid any time wasting or head-****ery I just bought the kit. All the rings, all the sizes and a nice accurately sized printed chart showing what goes where. Problem is I only did the front and center valves, putting the rest back in the envelope for later. Typical of my organisation I have now lost the damn envelope, so I'll be ordering another set sometime soon.

Thats my thoughts as well, just looking at a youtube vid and 1 see the nice instruction sheet which will make it easier.

The other thing is while I might save $10, I have to pull the block, pull the O-rings, ferret through my boxes to see if I have any that match, head to a local supplier to get the rest, come home again and then put it back together. Or, I could do what I did last time, which was order the kit from the UK. When it arrived, put the thing on stands, spent 10 minutes doing each block, rebuild the drier, do the normal service and it's back on the road in about 2 hours.

I like to support the guys that put this stuff together, so I'll pay a few extra bucks for the convenience and comprehensive instructions.

Going to do mine soon, which Supplier are you referring to, please?

Just did all of my o rings on the three valve blocks. The kit I got was from the UK from the 4x4airseals online shop. instructions and the quality of the kit first class. The pain and suffering removing/refurb'ing and reinstalling the rear valve block in particular was anything but first class. A royal pain in the arse (or fingers and hands as the case may be). No more leaking and sagging suspension. Mind you I also did all new struts and airbags as well as new dessicant and filters for the air compressor. Tip, the front and middle valve blocks reasonably straight forward to remove and reinstall, the rear was a combination of access through the left rear wheel and also from under the car where the spare wheel usually lives.

That one ^^^^. 4x4 Air seals. I was very happy with their gear, documentation and service. A+++ would buy again.

If anyone in Melbourne needs something from 4x4airseals and wants to save on postage, i will be placing an order tomorrow afternoon and happy to combine anything you need.

Got 3 of us in on a group buy so saved $70 in postage. A tip for anyone buying from 4x4 airseals , buy from their website and pay in GBP as paypal will shaft you on the exchange rate and a conversion fee and ebay will charge you GST.
