Has anyone ever had to find a substitute diaphragm for a Dacor Dart second stage. I am rebuilding one that has near perfect chrome and rubber, with the exception of this fragile part. I think it was a design flaw that put too big of a stainless plate in the rubber, and they failed at the transition point. I am wondering what I can use as a substitute. I have tried the neoprene one from an olympic model, but it needs about 1/8 inch more rubber al the way around since the dart diaphragm was pierced for screws. I need something that is 3 1/8 inches in diameter. Any help is always appreciated Scott
Herman, don't keep this info a secret. I have a Dart that is the first reg I ever breathed from that needs an overhaul. I think mine may need a second stage seat but I have not gotten into it yet. Do you know if any parts are available ?
I am not sure if I can resurface anything yet but I plan on working on it this winter.
Not a secret really. I am just playing around with the idea of reproducing some diaphrams for some of the old single hose regs. At this time I don't have anything but will need an old diaphram for a model so I wanted the old one if Scott finds a replacement and intends to trash the old one.
