[ST] Fuel Connector recall- more info

["CAPT Howard S. Serlick USNR" <serlick@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all:
	From what I have read about the fuel line Q-D recall, 
Triumph is going to replace the Male Fittings only with 
"new" heavy duty plastic Q-D fittings made by Colder 
Products.
	My dealer was only too happy to replace all the (stock 
male & female) plastic fittings with metal pieces that 
I provided at the 500 mile service. We split the cost. 
I bought the fittings and they paid for the labour.
	I purchased beautiful chrome plated bronze parts made 
by Colder Products. They have Viton O-rings that are 
fuel resistant. I purchased them from Penn Air & 
Hydraulics in York, PA (717) 840-8100. The parts I used 
for my '03 ST were:
2- female- LCD 10004BSPTV
1 male- LCD 230004V
1 male- LCD23006V
	Cost was about $45 + shipping.
	Keep in mind that other model years may have different 
hose ID's for the male fittings. My '03 ST has two 
different sized ID hoses for male fittings. Females are 
the same on all model years. Check your fittings before 
you buy the parts!
Best,
Howard Stephen Serlick
