Does anybody still re-gas spheres?

My specialist, Dennis does.

Mine were regassed and little valves put on the spheres for future regassings. I think I'd rather get mine replaced as I didn't notice a huge difference afterwards (though it was better).

My local specialist, Tony Weston can regas spheres, and it worked really well on my GS when they were done 2 years ago. It doesn't always work, though, as it depends on the condition of the spheres.

i bought 4 reconditioned speheres (am assuming re gassed) they lasted for between 2 weeks and 3 months, in the end bit the bullet and bought some Citroen new ones

we can get non-citroen, but still good quality euro spheres, for $85NZD each, regardless of make or model-its just not economical to regass them!

I have a set in my rebuilt valver, and they are great-i got quoted by CITROEN over $300NZD for the rears alone-'ohhh, performance car, that'-

got all 5 delivered to my door as a parallel supplier for $425NZD.

If you so much as get a bit of rubber past the filter into the system, its game over. Better to get new ones.

Besides, the ones i got off citroen WERE GREY!!!!!!! I mean, cmon,grey?
