I have recently had a hose blow on my B7100 with an SMC 64Q loader installed. I removed the main control unit to inspect and repair everything. Upon reassembly and startup I then discovered there is a hairline crack on the top of the unit where this apparent(circled) pressure relief screws in. Sorry I don't have a pic of the actual spot. The crack appears to be irreparable, and I'm hoping to replace this unit with the same style so I don't have to worry about replacing all of these brand new hoses I just had made. Does anybody have any insight to a source for replacement? I haven't had much luck in my research of older SMC components. The company has gone through quite the revamp over the years it seems. Thanks in advance.

Its a generic valve - just replace it with a new one. Here is an inexpensive joystick valve that should be close to a drop in replacement. Your hoses are easily adapted.
