So I'm looking to purchase quick fill system Dry Break Female, preferably in used but if not then new it is. I'm sure there are shops all over the States that might have one laying around and just itching to get rid of it. Any contacts or sites besides the CLARKE one that sells for $205. Thnx Alex
On a semi-related point. I bought an R6 that came with the female side of the Dry Break. I tried to find a tank to go with it, but they were all crazy money and I was only sprint racing with it. I ended up with the the Tuff Jug with the KTM adapter and it works perfectly. I got the 2.5gal jug and it's super easy to lift and portion out the gas I need for a sprint race. Also, the female dry break is not water tight if it rains hard enough. Put something over it or you'll be draining your tank to get the water out.
This has been on ebay for a while at $125.00. Might be able to take off the dry break and make a few bucks back selling the tank: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2006-06-KX...de1cecc:g:qWYAAOSw~5Rd5X3t&LH_ItemCondition=4
Ya I've been in contact with the seller. Offered to purchase just the dry break and not the tank for a bit less, as it would also cost less for him to ship but he never followed through. I can't cross over the border and pick it up. I have already a few items waiting at Freeport Forwarding. Don't want more stuff stagging there for nothing. Do appreciate you looking
You know, I just remembered that I have an extra female valve in parts that I'll put reassemble today. If it's good I'll give you a nice deal on it. Otherwise, another avenue is to keep an eye out for "souvenir" IndyCar or Champ car parts. I bought the current dry break that's on our team bike off ebay for something like $25.00.
Wow that is an awesome deal. If your female dry break is complete (once assembled) and the price is right... yes I'd like it plz. Thnx
Alex, I just checked it out...…. There's a reason why I had it disassembled. It needs work done to make it serviceable and I don't have any access to machine tools at the moment. Sorry man! This might be a good option instead of a true dry break though: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-two-Vintage-Acerbis-Fuel-Tank-Speedy-Quick-Fill-System/184436319207 I was thinking of buying these myself but I haven't replenished my racing fund yet!
BTW what would you need to do to get it serviable ? What machine tools do you need ? I am a machinist, so might be able to work it out for me.
Basically the filler neck/flange needs to be redone. You'd need a lathe and something that can do a hole pattern for the three screws that hold the valve together. Plus at least two of the three bushings need to be made or replaced. You should have no trouble doing what needs to be done. I can take pics and message you the details later this week.
