AIR BAG HOSE KIT

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement hose kit with all connections for my rear air bag inside the coil spring? Air bag is is Hotckins air bag that came with my rear drag coils.

Go to Menards, Home Depot, Lowes, etc...and go into the plumbing section. There should be rolls of clear plastic line you can buy that will work, cant remember but think I either used 1/8"line or something like that when I replaced my lines. Just be sure it's the clear tubign that is soft and not the semi transparnet stuff that is hard. You get like 20-25' for $2 or $3.

What about the connections for holding the hose onto the air bag and the connections at the end of the line to inflate the bag?

The ends on the bag parts are all barbed, so pending psi under 50 lbs they should self lock themselves into place. Any more pressure than that and it'll shoot the line off the bag or schrader valve.

They may have some small clamps in that area also just for these tiney things.
