If anyone is interested I am selling the bags since they aren't going to work. I had four to start with but sold two. I still have the two that I test fitted in the car.
So among all the boring engine stuff and bad news some exciting stuff came in the mail today!
These bags are tiny! Which is exactly what I need. I posted a pic of me holding one so you can see how small they are. I had to buy new fittings since these bags are 1/8" port and sadly the fittings won't come until tomorrow. I might try and get the bags in today but I need to buy some stuff first.
Also is it normal for the bottom of a sleeve bag to just have a nub that sits in a hole and isn't secured?
Oh ha just that the engine has problems despite being built by a "professional" and that the first bag setup didn't work. I would be lying if I said that I didn't expect trial and error when putting air ride on this car.
More good news. I got the brackets figured out for the new bags and got them in. I don't have the fittings yet so they are bottomed out for the time being, but that will change tomorrow. (don't worry I'm not driving it) I need to remove the bump stops since I think it's sitting on them now. Also I am going to cut the nub off the top bracket that I made.
For all of you that think you can't weld or can't afford it this first photo shows what I did today with my Harbor Freight 110v flux wire welder.
Got the rear bags hooked up today since my fittings came. I also finally got the video uploaded for the first bag set up. You can see the obvious difference. I need to have the fenders rolled since the tires are hitting. That is what you are hearing in the second video.
I also gained a little more drop by cutting some off the brackets that I made.
