I kind of screwed up the pictures of the online places that carry these parts. Here is the specs: On the elbow, www.hydraulicstore.com # 1215375 6501-04-02 Female swivel jic/male pipe 90 degree 7/16 X 1/8” male pipe thread 1/4 fitting, www.fittingsandadapters.com Composite push to connect fittings 1/4” airline 1/8” female pipe thread
I actually used my angle grinder as I have become quite good at controlling it over the years. I put the air shock in my vice with the inlet pointing down and directly afterward set my smallest shop vac attachment on it. I have not had any problems to this point!
@@benhulburt4931 Thank you for the response yeah I’m actually probably going to push a small amount of Kleenex in the hole and use an angle grinder to take it off. Hate to have to take the shock off.
I ordered some from Amazon but my threads on shock is standard adapter was metric are yours male and female standard or do I just screw on anyway,good Idea to cut that tip off female wasn't long enough,Thank you

So im looking to get air shocks for a 73 nova so i can jack the car up for wider wheels. Does changing the fitting helps with leaks
I think it does because you go from a plastic piece to a metal.
I used 18 wheeler air lines!!!
