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
Have you contacted STM?
info@stm.to.it
I did send them an email and also Boyesen who make petals for all kinds of engines to see if they might be able to help. I am hoping it might be a standard size.
Have you heard back from anyone yet?
Actually just today I received a PM from a forum member with a lead and also a reply from Boyesen - they said if I send them a pic, what material, thickness and measurements they would see what they could do.
Bill the chap over here in the UK has a brand new one that you can have... [thumbsup]
He asked me to PM you as he was banned quite some time ago from the forum, but realy he's a good guy... [clap]

I've sent my address and I am grateful for the lead :)
This is what mine looks like now -

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.
