I seem to recall Butch saying that there really is only 2 or 3 mfgs of these valves so.............

I wanna say that they are actually the D series vavles made by these folks. http://www.predyne.com/valves.asp

I suppose Im going to have to take them appart & use some bore gauges to figure out how large they are to buy the right kits?

Call NX. Why make it so hard?

[Bobalos]

I did not buy them from NX, I am going strictly from the appearance of the valves that they are the same Mfg as NX uses. Just my luck here :(

You can try McMaster Carr. They sell solenoids that look just like that... :wink:

[Bobalos]

I will give it a go tomorrow. do they have the TFE ones?

Bob

[Monty Mikho]

not sure Bob but I know they carry a bunch of different types.. if they cant help you ask them for some contacts.. they are really good about stuff like that...

[Bobalos]

thank you Monty, I cant imagine that Im the only person on the planet that rebuilds their noids. If I am, maybe there is a business oportunity there.

I cranked them open this evening & there was loctite on the N2O one & the Fuel one had stuff written on it, like it was rebuild earlier. the plunger did not go up into it smoothly either. when do I stop getting screwed on this nitrous deal??? :roll:

bob, did you find out anything on them rebuild kits?

[Bobalos]

YEP, Here is the deal.

these valves are made by a company called Peter-Paul. I took them appart & measures the orifice size & called up Mike Nelson @ Nitrous Supply & he had the rebuild kit for the Nitrous side sitting on the shelf. he is going to drop them off tomorrow (the perks of working next to the nitrous dudes. LOL).

He did not however, have the Fuel side. He gave me the number of "Clout Valve" (214 460 6877). Scott was the person I worked with & he was right on top of it. He has what I need to do the other side. No problemo, will be mailed out today.

the short answer is that the plunger is about $25, the sleeve/stem is also about $25 (one of mine has a bugger in it). So all told $50 to rebuild the valves & im good for another year. I bought an extra set so I can stick it into the tool box, just in case I have issues @ the track.
