Hi, looking for the some mushroom valves as per photos. Original GG BOV (not Shrimp). Diameter is around 35mm - 35.75mm. Dark Grey in appearance. YES I have emailed GG, received reply and it seems unable to supply. Option of upgrading to the spider kit that accepts the white/clear valves (I think). Could buy a Shrimp or other BOV, but then I wouldn't want to sell my BOV without knowing valves can be sourced. Also discussed with Add Helium, no luck there either. Been told these are Drager, but I have no idea. Based in NZ, happy to pay PayPal for source, Cheers in advance!

I might have a set in my spare box. Need to check. Will do tomorrow. I upgraded a few years ago as soon as the upgrade was available.
I'll PM you as soon as I get my hands on them.

Probably because the original Dragers (?) had some hideous WOB (at least according to the test data I saw). I think you wanted the new spiders long ago and just didn't realize it.
 
I think that the mushroom valves on the photo are not from Draëger but are 2nd stage expiration valves from Apeks.
Paul from rEvo made some WOB measures on the GG BOV, if I have his permisdion I will post the results.
I will check tomorrow if I can find those old valves in my mess.

Yes, the original grey valves are Apeks valves. You really need to upgrade to the Dagers. It makes a big difference.
 
I looked for them everywhee. I can't put my hands on them. I might have given them away already. Sorry.
Upgrading is a good choice anyway.
 
I have just found a set, though I would still advise changing to the newer ones.
Let me know if you are still looking for a set or not.
 
Thanks Capt Morgan. Thanks a lot! I'm taking on board the WOB and will upgrade to the newer spiders etc. Emailing GG at the moment and Jakub has a solution for me, Cheers!
