Default Gas shock adjusting tool

I am having a bit of trouble with the tool to add gas to the shocks for the Sachs shocks. The tool that I had worked great on my penske and the JRZ's, but on the Sachs, the schrader valve seems to be too recessed and I can not get the tool to tighten down on to it.

Where should I get the tool from that will work with the Sachs shocks.

Thanks

Ed

You can buy a short screw-on extension from any parts store that works well on the short Sachs shrader valve.....

I had thought about that. Not sure how cool that was. Was even thinking of leaving it there.

I inserted an o-ring from my "assorted O ring kit" it was just enough to make the Moton tool work on the Sach. Easy fix.

Ed, I'm using this one with my JRZ's. I like it better than the "hose" ones because there is no loss when you unscrew it. http://www.proracestore.com/index.ph...oducts_id=4762
