Thread of Hydragas pipework A SERIES

Post by ptmt »

Hello,
A topic similar to minorconfusion's.
1) Is the thread of the two ports in the 3-way connector of the rear suspension, a M10x1?

2) I want to plug one of the ports. What type is the cone of the plug, in case there are several standards?

3) If a correct plug which will not damage the port is unavailable here, is it possible to use the original hollow bolt with a short pipe stopped in its end?
Thank you.

The one with the schrader valve is not m10 i dont think, but the other two are. I think. The answer to your third question is yes.

Thank you DotMatrix.
As to the second question: the brake hose is M10, so in order to make a plug I cut an old hose and soldered the unthreaded end.
But perhaps the brake hose's cone and the inner cone of the Hydragas connector do not match?
