Anyone have advice about rebuilding air flow sensors? The flapper shaft on mine broke at the pin in the flap. So far I haven't found any in a yard around here (north central Ohio). I should probably just buy a new one, but $$$$. I could probably install a new shaft if I could find a dead box somewhere. I think that's been done before. The part number on my box doesn't match what Bentley's says it should be.. I figured mine was dead but I checked the valves too. Noticed a retainer was badly worn. Uh oh, had a valve seat pressed in. The head's at the shop now. I probably had a couple hundred miles before I popped the valve. Good thing I noticed it the day before I was going to head back east.... Oh well, hints, clues, suggestions are all appreciated, -John
