new /old topic re DD3 replacement from M& G

[mikelutestanski]

Hello :  I called the regional driector from M&G and he finally returned my call. The message I left is:: Does your company make a replacement for the DD3 unit?
    THe answer is no; not at this time.  THey have worked on something but due to patent restrictions they cannot put anything forth...   So at the moment nothing is in production.
         That is the latest info  FWIW.

      On the road from yee Haw junction FL  Buegrass rally....

      Regards and happy bussin   mike

Good for you to get a call back.  I left messages for my regional guy and never did.  there is nothing on their web site that suggests they have a spring brake that can fit where a DD3 fits, either.  I read every single page I could get to come up.

My guy from Michelangelo says the mb-t model will work for you mci guys by rotating the can .
I know when I talk to MGM they were trying to make a direct replacement with no valve changes only a plumbing change.
The guys at MG are pretty sharp I had concern about the spring brake having no air pressure at all times and he walked me through it I have air to mine at all times and Ed does also takes the worry out of a leak on the chambers.  


good luck

Do you mean rotating the spider so that the can is located in a different position around the hub?
