It's a D'bear TS 30 and gets a lot of use. I also use it for an SLE when bracket racing. I called D'bear and even the tech was knowledgeable he was unable to assist me.

Don, do you have a part number on that cylinder? Is it a Grainger part?

I don't have one available right now. I just ordered the replacement from #1 Stop.

Thanks, Don. Changing every so often is probably a good idea. I don't imagine they cost much.

I'll get mine apart and measure all the specifics and post them here.
