Stuff to seal an air leak

[Rick in PA]

There are stores that specialize in hydraulic and pneumatic supplies, hoses, etc. for industrial use, they were mentioned above. Parker manufacturers all sorts of fittings (link above). Try looking under "Hydraulic Equipment & Supplies" in the yellow pages of your phone book, that's where our local supplier is listed.

I'll try those places and probably replace the fittings but still seal it up anyways...although I won't use anything to seal around the valves since they're expensive to replace and you never know when you need to take thing apart...

So maybe 2 more days before Cruiser gets moving again. Only been out about a week this time. At least it's not because FedEx is choosing to lose these parts...they put my triple gauge pillar pod on the back door of someone NOWHERE close to where I wanted it delivered and they haven't replied to my claims form. Yummy.

Check out this link for Motion Industries.(I don't usually reccomend them since they're my competition but i don't have a branch in the SE).

They should be able to help you out.
If not you should be able to locate the closest Parker hose & fittings store from this link.

There has to be something close by. Unless of course there aren't any trucks, heavy equipment, etc. around.
Keep us posted.

Thanks! Motion Industries had what I needed...only cost $11 to get 3 fittings (have to replace them all). Should have the air bled from the tank and new fittings in within an hour...then off to get something to seal those suckers up for good.

Thanks again!

EDIT: New fittings are in. No leaks. When I have enough energy, I seal them up, test it all out...though still not taking the car out of the neighborhood.

Glad to hear your rolling again. You'd be suprised how much cheaper you could get the air valves as well. I've been talking to some guys about hydraulic low rider kits and the prospect of supplying some of the main pump units. It amazes me how much mark up people get by changing the description and marketing it as an automotive part.

Valves for the cars are typically quite expensive. Good thing none of those are busted... Tomorrow I seal the fittings, let it cure, wrap things up Friday morning and see how well all my new wiring, kill switch and fitting replacements works out...

Fittings sealed, waiting for it all to cure, then finishing steps and it's back on the road...oh yeah...

Tomorrow the seats go back in, it gets rolling, an oil change, an Alabama tag to replace the SC one, I get an Alabama license and then it parks in a friend's driveway for a week.

And then you sell it for the WRX, right?
