Hello Guys, and ladys

we have been in Southern Portugal for a while now It is realy nice Temp. above 20 C and sunshine While in Denmark the winterwinds are howling
Olga is doing fine with the odd small repairs needed just so I don't fall a sleep completly

I do have a small problem with airleaks and of course all parts are with us threads taht can not be bought in europe I have tried to have shops ship them from the us, without succes

So I wanted to ask if anybody has the possibletty to buy thes for me and just send them with ordinary mail to Portugal ? I can send the money with paypal

the elbows could be all brass as well, as long as the thread is the same- ball valves can be standart size as well, as long as the thread is the samme

we will be at this adress for a couple of weeks and after that we will be touring again as spring time moves up north

Appie, I am going to order simular items from the US over the weekend as I am going to change all connectors on Big green, no problem to add some for you.

By the way, if you are really stuck you can use the 6mm fittings used on trucks and buses found all over europe

Where can these parts be bought out here in the US? I would like to help, but I wouldn't know where to look except from the co-op or applied. Also I get a discount with FedEx but I don't know if that applies to international shipping. Any suggestions?

You will find them on Ebay, but any shop that do truck repairs should have them, but at a higher price, I guess fedex would work, but USPS would work fine to.

By the way Appie are you sure you want 1/8" NTP, that is pretty small, is it for the solenoids/valves ?

The fittings look to be a Fesco brand.

The Viton seal ball valve is made in Italy, part number is MV608-4. Most
any local Parker fittings dealer will have @ anything you want. We use
their "68P" series nylon ferrel brass fittings. I do notuse press-lock
fittings. Let me know if I can help,
