Silca floor pump chuck insert?
Hey guys, this might end up being hopeless but does anyone have any thoughts on finding the schrader adapter / washer for a Silca 323.1 chuck? I was recently given a nice older Silca with the 323.1 presta/schrader chuck but without the schrader insert =/ I may have a go at 3D printing or otherwise fabricating one, but if anyone knows where they can be found I'd appreciate the info

Silca has (or used to have) an agent here in the USA. Track them down and odds favor that they have what you need, or at least some decent options.

Try YellowJersey online. Look through their vintage links. I was recently looking for a leather cupped washer for a frame pump and they have them for Silca. So maybe they would have what you need.

The "agent" bought the rights to the Silca name and has created a 'retro-vintage-homage' pump that sells for...what was it> $400?
At least that's what I recall. Hope I'm wrong or that he's also in the business of supporting the old (and still viable) product in addition to indulging his designer wet dreams...
sorry, that comment went a little too "editorial", didn't it?
In any case, I'll look for a spare and PM me if you can't find anything in the free market.
Edit: ah yeas, it's the Super Premium Ultimate with rosewood grips and a $449 pricetag...but you can buy just a locking chuck alone for a mere $110. Should go nicely in your Manhattan condo garage next to the Tesla.
Sir.
