Title: Replacement reed valve for STM breather? Post by: Bill in OKC on November 11, 2013, 03:54:44 PM The carbon fiber reed valve in my STM breather is getting a bit ragged along the front edge. Has anyone got a lead on if and where a replacement reed might be available? I hope that a complete replacement valve is not required...
Thanks, Bill Title: Re: Replacement reed valve for STM breather? Post by: ducpainter on November 12, 2013, 08:44:58 AM Have you contacted STM?

This is what mine looks like now - (http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc190/stankbone/DSC01982_zpsfd87fb69.jpg) (http://s219.photobucket.com/user/stankbone/media/DSC01982_zpsfd87fb69.jpg.html) Title: Re: Replacement reed valve for STM breather? Post by: Bill in OKC on November 27, 2013, 08:30:45 AM I received the petal from Stewart in the mail yesterday [thumbsup] What a great World this is :) Thank you Stewart and Geoff! I have also received a p/n from Boyesen #CT050 - close but it is a large single petal instead of the two individual petals. I also have gotten an email from STM verifying which breather I have, but no info yet about where to buy a replacement. When I get the info I'll post it in case anyone else might need one of these.
