Title: Head and V Birth Ports
Post by: Bill1188 on August 29, 2016, 09:38:15 PM

What is the brand of the opening ports , the four found in the head and V birth. Black, about 12 inches wide, black knobs that turn to lock. I need two lenses and would like to replace gaskets.

The ports were originally made by Bomar, who merged with Grey, who was then bought out by Pompanette.
Replacements and parts are still available.

The Model number is G414-SD18

Looks like you need to purchase the whole unit. I just need a couple of the closing ports and the gaskets.

If you are looking to replace the lens, would recommend you replace the gaskets,screens and switch out the screw nobs with the cam latch
