Gilles Bernard

[Erik Reimanis]

Does anyone know where to find parts for an old Gilles Bernard releaser? Numbers 228F and 9-158 big belly. Specifically I am looking for the bottom outlet parts before I try to improvise. Thanks.

I believe Lapierre sells Bernard, so one of their dealers should be able to access.

[Erik Reimanis]

right, thanks. They are looking for one too.

I bought a seal set from Bascom 2 yrs ago, it took 5 months to receive it. Fortunately it wasn't during the season.

I have a double vertical, I used to be able to get parts online, seals etc, in stock. I wanted to replace the pneumatic cylinder this year, they quoted me a month...no one seems to have any parts on hand.

My seals set was for a double vertical 14" diameter releaser. I might be using it on about 300-400 taps, kind of over kill, but I own it. I think it was rated for something like 12,000 taps.
