69 Buick Hold-Off Valve

ANy idea where to get a rebuild kit? Since they sell new ones, someone must has parts?

Thanks

 

Anybody??

 

I think the only parts you can buy now are the rubber boot and the mounting bolt + bracket. I do seem to remember reading somewhere about someone rebuilding one, but I can't remember where I saw that! Repro are probably Chinese with slightly different internal dimensions. They want the $ for the whole thing, not 20.00 for a rebuild kit.

 

Thanks Frank, any idea where I can get the boot? It's all cracked and soft. The internals looked OK, but I'd perfer to replace all the rubber parts, it would be an easy rebuild (If I could find the parts).

 

I think Inline Tube sells the boot. You might have to look in the Olds catalog to find it. Ames probably has it, too.

 

So far no luck with either vendor. Someone has had to rebuild one of these?

 

Yea, I might be forced that way, shame since it's maybe $10 worth the rubber parts to rebuild it. If they are building new ones, someone is making the parts for them?

 

have you checked with Doug at the Buick Farm ?

check with the chevelle owners on the site below. i believe that the the '69 chevelle probably uses the same setup.

Well, I found the boot:

69 Buick Service Manual says it's not serviceable, so if it leaks I guess I have no other choice other than replace it.

Thanks everyone, looks like another part that made of unobtainiumo No:

 

the link Larry put up for motorcity muscle is just another outlet of Inline Tube.

 

Will the one on Ebay fit to my Electra 1969? Thanks Goran

Yep bought mine today

 

Oh...good deal, nice to know someone has the kit. The boot inline has INL 10932 is in the Olds catalog, it says 1971-77, so I don't know if it would help.
