Two unrelated questions, both of a technical nature...

[AndyStobbs]

One, does anybody know what type of fittings are used on the hydraulics of a Genie cherry picker? Need some adaptors for my kit. BSP doesn't seem to fit.

Two, what would be the best name for a small rubber gaiter, like a steering rack gaiter on a car, but designed for only a 6mm rod, and can anyone suggest a supplier?

Thanks all.

either throw up a pic or screw an adapter out and take it with you to the hyd store.
could be jic as quick too.

I thought ORFS haha. Need to go back for some measurements I think.

 

[Tinbasherdan]

Its been a long time since I messed around with hydraulics! Had forgotten about jic

 

[addjunkie]

Take the fitting out and go to pirtek or similar

 

[Hitch]

Guessing probably JIC if its a straight thread.. or NPT if tapered i'd guess... being American, I doubt they use much bsp...

Boot.... 6mm must be about the size used on bicycle vee brakes...

ORFS have basically a UNF thread pitch with the intermediate (ie non preferred) diameters
