Bomb Recharging Update

["Southerlin, Russell S" <russell.s.southerlin@lmco.com>]

Just thought I would give everyone an update on the bomb recharging that I
have been doing.  Thanks to everyone for there help in getting me some
cores.  I initially was swamped with responses and with travel coming up for
work I had to take a breather. 

I currently have 2 ea. 5K cores ready to ship but am still having trouble
getting 200 types.  I have recharged about 6-8 units to date.  Two of them
had bad bladders and oil came running out the hole - had to throw those
away.  I have shipped out 3 units and so far they have worked O.K. - plus I
have had two recharged units in my car.  I have been searching for a
different valve and have found one that is smaller and makes for better
installation.

Here is a copy of my standard steps for getting them recharged in case
anyone missed it:

	>Here is the deal:
	>If you can afford for your car to be down for a few days send me
your
	>bomb and if it is good I will recharge it for $50 plus shipping. If
your
	>bomb checks bad I can send you a recharged used unit for $100 plus
	>shipping.
	>
	>If you cannot afford for your car to be down send me a check for
$100, I
	>will send you a good bomb. If your bomb checks out good I will send
you
	>back $50, minus shipping.
	>
	>The used cores are going to cost me $50ea thus the $50 "core
charge".
	>
	>What I will do:
	>1)Inspect and test bomb for good condition.
	>2)Install high pressure fitting (rated for 6500psi working
pressure).
	>3)Recharge with 1000-1100psi nitrogen.
	>4)Monitor for 24-48 hours for pressure leakage.


	If you can fill out the answer to these questions also it will help
me determine if your bomb is good.  "Pumps" means when you gently pump the
brake pedal count the number of strokes it takes when you loose the "power
assist".

	1) As soon as engine is turned off how many pumps are
there?__________

	2) If #1 is greater than 0, then after the engine has been off about
10 minutes how many pumps are there?_________

	3) If #2 is greater than 0, then after the engine has been off
overnight how many pumps are there?_________

	4) Is the brake warning light coming on?______________

	5) If #4 is yes is it on right away after starting or after driving
awhile?___________

	6) What type of hydraulic fluid do you use - Pentosin green cap, red
cap (synthetic), or other?____________

	7) Is the fluid nice and clean or is it dirty?______________
