Hello, are there available individualizing valves for the rear displacers of A-type Metros? I am told the thread is different than that of K-type.
What is the thread size of the rear displacer? and the inner thread size of the interconnector?

Thank you

drive it like its hired

Ralph sells them
On mine I have to cut away a lot of the retaining plate to fit them.
But I might have fitted k series parts to my a series when restoring it ( cant remember!)

Thank you .
Am I wrong, and A- and K-series have same thread? or perhaps they differ only in the shape of flare of the displacer's thread?

Yeah, Ralph Hampshire makes and sells them.
He's "ralphh85" on here and "compeng24" on ebay. (None listed at the moment though)

Didn't have to cut my cover plates, but did loosen the strap and turn the unit a bit to get them on.
No idea what the threads are though.

I'm fairly certain they are a different thread.
I wouldn't have bought K-series ones to fit to my A-series, no matter how cheap they were!

It's a good mod. Improves handling and removes the pipe that can be prone to corrosion.
