Re: Likes and Dislikes on Airbags or Juice

So whats happening is the fitting flanges bottoms out on the top of the bag. the bags must be tapped too deep because no fittings screw down that far. I have used PTC and they leaked a little around the line so the ones i have now are DOT comprression. No it leaks as soon as any air hits it and I MEAN LEAKS. The car is down in like 3 mins. I have the bags set up like air shocks right now, no valves or anything, i just an air compressor to fill them up. I built a jig to hold the bag so i can find leaks before i put it on the car. Thought that was a good idea. If the silicone doesnt seal I am going to get cheap PTC fittings and then epoxy them in. I deal with polymers and my boss said it should work or if not acetone will eat the epoxy to get the fittings out. I just wanna ride on air because i set it up to be LOW!!!!! and it is. i tuck half of my wheel and they are 15" on medium tires. I hope to GOD that the silicone works, if not i will get a ttiny piece of pipe cut and threaded and then put a fem-fem connector or something. Alright there is my situation if you have any ideas or ?'s let me know. Thanks Matt
