I'm in need of replacing the hose connection fittings at the rear suspension. I've got a 76 Eleganza II and the main hose feed connection at the the rear suspension system seems to be made out of plastic. One sides connection has split and is leaking air. Is there replacement hardware for those connections that are out of metal? Where would I get them?

Goto your local heavy truck repair center. The nylon hose fittings are the same as used on truck air brakes.

Ok, I've got a Peterbilt repair center not to far from me.
I'll check with them on it. Thanks

I got mine at a local independent auto parts store about 10 years ago. At the time they were around $1.50 each for both straight and 90 degree angled ones. Now they are probably $2.50 each.

Napa also had them a exactly double the price.

Replace them all of them. It is not expensive and does not take long. It is a lot easier to replace all of the plastic ones than to look for which ones are leaking.
