So I was able to find a 108-9 dated Kelsey Hayes brake valve with the intent on rebuilding it for my car. This is the valve that mounts on the drivers side frame rail under the door. I was able to get it apart,and completely disassembled. In doing so, I had to destroy the c-clip to get it apart. So I ordered 2 repro valves, both made by OER. One came from Summit, the other from Classic Industries. My plan was to use the new internals for the rebuild of my KH unit. I also got 2 seal kits from Muscle Car Research. Upon getting one of the new OER valves on Friday, I took it apart to harvest its internals. I discovered that the valve only contained 3 parts, the spring, the aluminum tube and its corresponding seal. No outer seal, c-clip or metal washer. I then received the second valve today and it only had the same 3 parts inside. Has anyone taken one of these valves apart to use the internals to rebuild their assembly line valve? Im thinking that these OER units are basically useless as they dont have the parts that the KH units do. Here is a pic of what was inside the OER ones.
here is my orig apart.
