Auxiliary Air Valve (AAV) rebuild kit

I have been offering Auxiliary Air Valve (AAV) rebuild service for quite a while now, but sending those units to me for a rebuild and waiting for them to come back might take a while depending on customers location so I have developed a rebuild kit for AAV. It includes new stainless steel piston, new stainless steel spring and new oem spec. thermal bulb with adapter for AAV.

Why is there a bolt in the pic?

Idle adjustment. Early AAV’s (pre-he) actually had extra fine thread bolt. That one is also available.

Does the bolt often warrant replacement? Or do you include that just because you’re a nice guy?

Both :)))
Sometimes they can be quite rusty…

Same with springs:

All the leftovers after rebuild:

Where did you get SS springs? You’re not fabbing those yourself, are you?

No I didn’t make springs myself, but they are custom made to order.

John, dumb question: Do you have a web site? Someplace with photos of all these wonderful parts you offer and a way to order them? Someplace we can easily send people to when they ask where to find such stuff?

If not there are a few quite easy suites that you can utilise to set up a site. I admin our club website and the only thing I leave to the profession is the HTML side of things, thats the fancy headers;

I don’t have a webpage, but most of the stuff I make, I list on ebay:

Of course prices are different then the ones I offer for forum members due to ebay commission.
Also JamesLove advertised some of my parts on his webpage as well:

Getting quite busy rebuilding AAV’s lately…


It looks like that due to quarantine in a lot of countries people now can spend more time in their garages fixing their Jag’s :slight_smile:

Hi… Is there a link or some place I can get me one of these kits?

You are right about people spending more time fixing their jags! I am new to this forum and found your post about the air valves, awesome work! I am interested in one of your kits, how would I go about getting one, sorry if I missed a link or something as I just joined this forum.

Welcome to the forum Benjamin theres a link in post number 9, just scroll up a few and you will see it.

I would be interested in one kit but could’t find info on the sites above.
Thanks

Rui,
Send a PM to John John from one of the previous posts. He’s the man you want.

I don’t need one, but damn, those pics make me want one bad.
