I recently acquired these beauties from Legoland951 (thanks Frank). Anyway, what exactly is this valve for/do? TIA. Michael

That almost looks like a zerk (sp?) fitting. I wonder if you can fill them that way? Though why the hell would the manufacturer of the shocks need that when they produce them? I guess what I'm trying to say is, I have no friggen idea. They sure do look pretty though! (I can't say the same for your keyboard though haha)

I stole this keyboard from my son. I poured lemon water on mine last week. You can feed a small village with what's between the keys. Hey Chris.

They were custom valved by a company called Pro Parts in Calabassas (sp?). I think they put this fitting on.

That makes sense then. They probably drill the hole to drain the factory oil, then fill with different oil via that valve. Just a guess though.

Cheers. See ya Oct 21st!

Is it a valve or a plug? Usually a schrader valve would be used to transfer Nitrogen. If you can't find Pro-Parts, contact T.C. Kline or Bob Tunnell. I think they were the owners.
