I have a Shires axial flow valve from 2003. Will either of the standard bullet braces or ax handle fit on it?

Those attach via the main bell brace, and that dimension hasn't changed. I don't see why they wouldn't

I have a Shires axial valve from 2000 and my bullet brace fits fine.

Yes, but make sure to get the bullet brace sized for Shires and not Edwards. There are 2 sizes made to fit different brace sizes - I can't remember which other makes are the same as Shires and which are the same as Edwards, but I'm pretty sure all that info is on the Edwards website.

I need to know if it's the C or S. Both technically fit Shires, I just don't know which style/vintage.

Here’s my 2000 axial with bullet brace.
