033.jpg040.jpgJust a heads up about NOS (New Old Stock) parts. I recently bought a NOS short style air-pac from a reputable seller. When it arrived it had all the holes plugged with plastic plugs, a little rust on the outside but nothing major. When I removed the plugs though I noticed rust in the holes. In fact the rust was so bad I decided to tear it down and inspect further. The whole half of the bore was rusted ! I sandblasted it and honed it as best I could. I believe it will work, I haven't installed it yet. I did contact the seller and he has refunded a major portion of the cost. Always go with a reputable seller !!! So the moral of the story is to always check what you buy even if it is NOS, as you never know what kind of life this part has had . The seller figures GL had it outside for a time before they finally sold it.
