Ken,

I did find two aluminum blocks in Double Trouble when I got it. They were "witness marks" on both of them where something had "dug" into them pretty well!

Now I have "manifolds" on both air bags from Dave Lenzi:

As you can see they have shutoff valves, tire valve stems, and gages. I can shutoff the air supply and bleed the pressure out of the bags easily when I have a flat tire.

Regards,
Rob M.

They still work good & give me something to remember you by. :-)

​I'm not sure whether the Newhouse bogie was broken by a plate or a
single-side spacer block like Tom Warner distributed.​
