Dear EditoR
At one time we regularly lost breather caps from our 5-tonners'
power steering reservoirs. Normal vibration was enough to loosen the
screw that held the cap on±
At more than $7 each, lost caps
got expensive. Since the breather
Flter fell o² with the cap, the
power steering system was in
dangeR too±
The solution was safety wire.
We drilled holes In the cap³s nut
and the metal cover with the
1´5mm twist drill, NSN 5133-01-
115µ7993, from our Common shop
sets±
Just a sho¶ length of safety
wire, NSN 9505-00-293µ4208,
holds everything together´
