Title: DC04 Release valve "O" ring
Post by: ocddyson on February 06, 2017, 06:19:54 pm: I am currently re furbing a DC04 and whilst stripping down the release valve for cleaning noticed that the "O" ring was in poor condition and badly cracked. Does anyone know where I can get one of these from or point me in the right direction, any help info would be very much appreciated.
