Re: WTB Sediment bulb parts
The handle part you're looking for is a very hard item to come by. Many of them have been broken off from the tapered interior part that seals the gas flow. My understanding is that the tapered part is not the same for all sediment bowls and that the angle of the sealing surface varies & that's why they are not being reproduced. Anyone who has the complete & unbroken handle piece will try to use it in another sediment bowl that doesn't have this part. You might be better off to just buy a reproduction unit. Most vendors carry them.

I have brazed new handles on the last ones I needed. Also, many have been hammered on trying to get them out and smashed the cotter pin hole and mushroomed the end. Best of luck.
When did I do that?
