I need to find somewhere else to buy air suspension/air bags parts. Last time I went thru www.airbagit.com guys and they have a wide range of parts, but they are on the hight end and 5-7 day shipping is close to $20 now. I need to buy 2 valves but dont want to spend as much as they want for them. ANy suggestions? Thanks
try grainger's: http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/wwg/start.shtml sorry, that link didn't work, try the above one...
I FOUND 2 THAT SEEMED TO BE RELATIVELY CHEAP. THESE GUYS ARE IN CANADA http://www.teampneumatik.com/home.html THESE GUYS ARE THE ONES I WENT WITH DONT TRY EMAILING THEM THOUGH, THEY'LL NEVER GET BACK TO YOU, BUT IF YOU CALL THEY'RE VERY HELPFUL. http://www.suicidedoors.com/products/air_mgmt.htm
grainger's shows at least two retail locations right in austin. no shipping needed. clicky here: http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/wwg/branchSearchResults.shtml
if you want manual valves go visit your local peterbuilt truck dealer and ask for gt seat switches.. sawzall
k for valves. SMC pneumatics makes some great ones. you can get em' direct or through almost any air bag/suspension shop. the guys at www.teampneumatik.com are awesoem guys and good friends of mine, theyre located inmontreal but they drop ship outta cali for most orders. parker makes great valves also but they can be pricey, this time around on my 62 parisienne im gonna use manual valves from pneumadyne. theyre bascially the ones that master image customs ripped off/copied. theyre cheap and work great and no electrical to deal with, just plumbing, hope this helps. -mark
That's my suggestion! My dad works at Cummins West and I get ALL sorts of stuff there.........and with a discount! My bags, valves, lines, everything! It's wonderful. I've also used Grainger for those strange bits I didn't think I'd find else where. They are a wonderful place to use as well! xxx Brandy
my suggestion in all honesty is exactly that...go to a truck center to buy everythng you can, even electric valves, this stuff is all stuff thats been used on large trucks for YEARS!!!! as for manual vlaves, the pneumadyne ones are great. check em out at www.pneumadyne.com, here is an M>I>C ripoff.
