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?

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.

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.  [beer]
