Now before someone mentions "Search"... it doesn't seem to be working very well! Either that or I lack the 'skillz' to use it. smile

I have a Forge BOV, but its hissing a little under steady load, so the spring needs replacing. Anyone recommend a place to get one?

Also, I seem to remember seeing a hard pipe BOV at some point. Who makes that?

Cheers!

take it apart and then pull the spring to make it a bit longer

refit and voila - problem gone

Is the Forge a piston type or does it have a diaphragm?

I'll pull it apart later and have a look... not sure on the current spring colour. So, where can I get another spring from?

Also, is it easy to take appart or is it going to explode once I have loosened everything?!
