tire gauge rebuilding

[1930artdeco]

Hi All,

I need to rebuild my tire gauge that belonged to my grandfather. It leaks air past the seals and it won't register air that is in the tire. Question: where do I get seals for it and how do I make sure I get them to seal?

What brand? Milton?

If you are talking about sealing to the Schrader valve on the tire, maybe an oring or flat rubber washer, but you will need to choose a proper thickness, likely trial and error.

Thanks guys, I took it apart and cleaned off the grease and now she works just fine
