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?
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:

Thanks James
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
See? The silver lining in the dark cloud!
my kit should be coming this way soon
just hoping the postman will come here
Hi… Is there a link or some place I can get me one of these kits?
EDIT… DISREGARD… I’m sorry, I found it!
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.
