Source for Air bag fittings around Detroit?

So ive been gathering up some fittings to do my air ride, ive gotten a bunch from Matzka over on 10 and mound. but i didnt get much for my money. Im hard lining all of my set up in the trunk and have most of the flare fittings for that but i still need a few push lock fittings for when i go back to dot line. I all so need a few 3/8" T fittings

So does any one know of a good source that has Fittings for cheep. They want 9 bucks a peice at Matzka for the T fittings and 8 bucks for push locks. That adds up fast.

Thanks
Bryan

 

Bryan -

Try Production Tool Supply; there's one on Stevenson and there should be on on either Van **** or Mound Road. If they don't have them - (or something similar) they should be able to point you in the right direction.

FWIW, the type of pushlock fitting you describe I usedta sell (ages ago) as a Legris fitting. Do a web search on both Legris and Swagelock and see what pops up; there is a Swagelock rep in Farmington hills but I forget the name of the company.

Not sure if they can help BUT there is a "newer" hot rod shop over here on the westside called Motor City Steel (Commerce Township) I was at an open house and it seemed like they do just about everything there. Won't hurt to give them a call.

 

If you have "TRUCK PRO" store in your area they are usually a good source for air line connections

 

Hydraflex in Livonia carries D.O.T. push fittings. They're cheap to because they sell them for industry instead of suspension. I can dig up their number if you'd like but it is a bit further from you.

 

Try searching:
Ritter Engineering

Exotic Rubber and Plastic

the Parker Store

F.B Wright

good luck.

Go to and Big Rig repair shop.. they will have them.. I usually get mine from Diamond international trucks or Motion Industries. Most bearing houses will have them. Grainger will probally have them too if you have one ner by. Best bet is a Diesel/big rig repair shop or dealership parts counter....

 

If you come up with a list, I could probably supply whatever you need. I've got a couple friends who work plumbing air line on big rigs so I got a pretty decent selection. I'd do half price or something like that. I've also got some extra DOT 3/8" line (flexible stuff) to go from your hard line to your bags if you need some.

 

how many do you need? I'll dig through my air line fitting leftovers and see what I got....no guarantees, I know I got the tee's but not sure of the size....
