Combat and Tactical Vehicles: Improved BDAR Tire Repair Kit

Listen up! The battle damage assessment and repair (BDAR) kit’s ground combat tire repair stand-alone kit, NSN 5180-01-542-8146, has been updated.
           
The tire repair kit is now smaller, lighter, tougher and costs less. Here are some specifics:

1. It has a much smaller footprint and its pouch design fits into a cargo pocket.
2. It’s lighter and easier to carry.
3. It has two extra plies embedded into the tire plug, making the plugs more durable and repairs longer-lasting. The plugs are double-bagged, which doubles their shelf life.

Remember, repairs made with the tire repair kit are just temporary and meant to get you out of a jam. A repaired tire has to be replaced ASAP.
        
The kit can also be used to repair leaking radiator hoses, metal fluid lines, and gaps around doors, hatches and O-rings.

The tire repair kit comes as part of BDAR kit, NSN 2690-01-659-5620.
