Unbelivable,

eastern ask for $180 for shipping the valve to Spain. It is not a good way of doing business!!!

I am triying other options.

Many thanks

Try Otello. He is in Italy. Ships fast and has almost everything.

Get in contact with him through ebay and ask for the part you need. Dealt with him many times. Great guy!

Hello Muttero,

I am having one of this in Europe hard to find breathers, new old stock. I am located in Germany and can send it to you. Send me an email or PM me if you are still in need of one.

Best regards
