MLRS
Shock Washer
Use NSN 5310-01-413-1037 to get the
right flat washer for MLRS shock
absorbers. The hole diameter of NSN
5310-00-928-1885, shown as Item 15 in
Fig 9 of TM 9-1450-646-24P, is too small.
Bradley Air Cleaner Door
Get a replacement door for your
M2A2/M3A2 Bradley’s air cleaner with

out of Fig 130 in TM 9-2350-284-24P-1.
M992A2 Fuel Line
Sealant
Stop using teflon tape, NSN 1015-01-

fittings on your M992A2 ammo carrier.

which can result in a fire hazard.
Substitute sealing compound, NSN

the new NSN as Item 65 in Appendix D
of TM 9-2350-293-20-2.

is made from NSN 4010-01-
067-1700, which is available
by the foot.
