Our nitrogen filled pneumatic gear strut (shock absorber) on a Blanik L23 is flat. It appears that the fill valve is defective. Blanik America says that the factory is on summer vacation and it will be weeks to get the part we need.



Here is a picture of the part in question == https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...2012.56.59.jpg. FYI - What appears to be a schrader valve in the assembly is not.



Does anyone have a replacement fill valve or the entire strut assembly for sale?



Please contact me at 847-844-8776 or via email jhderosa at yahoo.com.



Thanks, John

IIRC, that's a standard US made Schrader valve. (Looks like a tire valve core on steroids.) Try unscrewing the valve, photographing it and emailing the photo to a supplier to see if they can match it. Start with:
