IPF valve to Fox rear shock

Hi
Any know where I can get a valve (CM3461) that fits to the lower section of the RP2, RP23 shocks?
This allows the user to adjust the volume of air in the IPF section (not the top connection that we use to adjust the sag/setup)

The other option is to send to third party for full rebuild and tune, any suggestions where this can be done (I am based in Sydney Metro)

Thanks for reading, get out and get dirty now!

I never thought you could buy them!!! I've been making my own by modifing a bolt head and press fitting a schreder valve. No faults so far.
5/16" UNF from memory?

If 5/16 UNF is the go then you can go for what's called a schrader valved test point. There's one that might fit on the first page of this. Low profile too http://www.hydac.com.au/MessageForceWebsite/Sites/279/Files/GaugeKits_Catalog.pdf

You may find that your local air conditioning (inc automotive) specialist installer or service agent could help source something very appropriate

IPF valve

Nice work, I scored mine from the US for $35

After pulling my shock down I discovered that the previous owner had done some mods to the Shock so it will not lockout period.
Have rebuilt the shock, but now looking for a replacement shock.

This is proving to be a pain in the ........., 185mm is quite challenging to find

Thanks for all the posts fellas, Merry Christmas
Hopefully Santa will bring something special :)

so can anyone tell me what this allows a rider to do to their shock?

( i am learning here )
Allows you to replace the non user servicable inflation valve on the IFP/neg air side of fox shocks with a standard schrader valve so you can use a regular shock pump to inflate during a full DIY strip down of the shock.
