Hey, does anybody have an air bag fitting they'd like to be rid of?
I'm talking about that threaded thing that fits into the end of the
airbag on one side and attaches to the air line on the other.
I have a couple of old bags with no fitting.

thank you,
Karen

Karen,

I am no expert, I believe it is a common (as in not rare) fitting. If you go to any truck parts supplier type auto parts store (not the big name places, but Napa, Auto Value..), they will have a 1/4 male to 1/4 DOT compression fitting and that is what mine has there.

While you are there, get 2ea couplings and 5~10 feet of tubing to make a patch if something gets damaged on the road and put it in your spares.

Hey Matt, it's hard to describe these things, but I mean the fitting that
screws into the bag itself. It's about a 3/4" thread on one side, and
a 1" thread on the other. I need it to test a couple of spare old bags,
and to make it easier to change bags on the road if needed.

thanks,
Karen
