Who needs a HET when you have this. Needs seals.This thing looks like it should be on a tugboat![]()
Now that you say that, it echos. You said it before and I forgot-Yes. I have some well casing that'll do nicely
They are not. The angle of the hose is slightly different, the internal threads valve threads start at the end versus being inset, the external thread doesn't have the "cross" on the end, they have a slightly different black seal (I put NOS orange on). Smaller diameter protective hose.Those look the same as what I used. NOS military versions.![]()
The custom made products or 'solutions' I've gotten from merry men equipment have been cheap and hillbilly at best. His web site is good for a quick part # lookup, otherwise, I avoid them like the plague.Really getting tired of these half assed engineered solutions that are out there
I hope to be as good as you one day at finding the real parts. Do you offer a class Rick?Huh. Yeah they do appear to be different. The cross is there in case the bead lock shifts - so it can't block airflow.

I think it's a confluence of lifelong obsessions and experiences in industry and military. Have you sent me a thumb drive for TM's and tech info? Most of this type of information is buried in the GB's of data I've amassed and the "skill" is being able to search all that data and knowing what every part of a truck does and could be named..... Being able to see every company that has ever made every part in the Army system going back to the 1960's is super useful for situations such as this. It's like having the Yellow Pages for army truck parts. The scalpers rely very heavily on obfuscation - hiding the truth that many of these parts are simply off the shelf in an effort to either mark them up from their normal retail by 100-200% (or more) or sell an Asian or Indonesian copy of the real part at 500% profit. The surplus "industry" is just filled with people taking advantage of desperate enthusiasts that haven't spent a lifetime in the shop and have the grey beard with permanent grease stains and the brow creases to spot them driving their snake oil cart into town.I hope to be as good as you one day at finding the real parts.

We have the laptop you made us and know I have barely scratched the surface on what you installed for us—I think it's a confluence of lifelong obsessions and experiences in industry and military.

You can replace the bulbs with LED's if you like. I did all of mine. This is just one example of many that are available:Looking at the lights in the switches, many not working and melted the plastic. It would be nice to have them all work—
