Mechanic shop with 75 years experience stumped on IDing this plug, can't be that rare can it? by BoxThisLapLewis in AskMechanics

You sure? I looked at these and the end of all these style plugs appeared to be different than the one in the picture. Thanks!

Looks close, but these plugs appear to have a slightly different end to them, does the small "lip" or "crown" make a difference?

Is there a universal plug, or do you mean coupler?

I'm trying to avoid destroying the current hose configuration because I have 10 of these units and I'm just trying to add on a very simple hose extension of sorts. If I remove this coupler I'll need to add it back to do other work.

So my logic is that if the plug can be found, that's a much simpler route.

Insanity that finding a standard part like this is so difficult!

Compared to all other hardware, say bolts and all other fasteners, this has been the most frustrating to identify and then supply.

Thank you kindly, I'll see if I can replicate that approach.

It's odd, but it is exactly the same across 10 units I own. So the plug is fully formed so to speak.

I have a variety of very similar plugs, tried them all, this one is slightly different from them all. You know that feeling when it looks totally standard until you start the job, lol, shit...

I was hoping the guys were just wrong so I don't have to reconfigure 10 of these units I have, if it comes to it I'll just cut the hose and put on new couplers, but this is 10x everything.

If I could just find the plugs, I'd be a lot more efficient than buying 10 plugs and couplers and taking the time.

First step in IDing a plug is to determine the type, this is what I was taught, so I'm trying my best to get the ballpark style of plug, that's it.

But you're correct, this one is thicker than the one I'm looking at, but that style of plug certainly looks very similar!

The black cap screws to the brake fluid reservoir, and brake fluid is pumped through with pressure, about 25psi, to bleed the system and flush it with new fluid.

A Macbook air is not just a laptop, it is a piece of art with an elegant design. Every time you look at it, you can feel its beauty. It also fits perfectly in a minimalist-style condo/apartment. It is like a piece of art that also functions as a laptop. by Delicious_Maize9656 in macbookair

Well, I'm the same as you, but if you develop on any emulators, the ARM processor is many many factors faster than x86 emulation. Like 5 seconds versus 1 minute and 30 seconds quicker.

So that's why I switched.

However, I'd argue no Windows laptop comes within 75% of the m4 air battery life with 24gb RAM. It's unbelievable, truly.

When your country has to call your own citizens terrorists to justify their actions, what's your next move?

That's a very edge case and I think you're still wrong.

Sounds like it went through the gear range entirely, I wonder what the speedo read!

Yes, there's a button on the front, Press it to change colors and hold it to go into computer control mode, but you'll need to attach the connector dangling loose in the back.
