Unbelievable!

After 2 weeks down for a leaking airspring I finally get the Arnott replacement installed. I am using their airspring only part. Well during install the plastic 45° air fitting cross threaded and stripped. Contacted Arnott for a replacement fitting. The say its a warranty part and don't sell them. I don't want to have to send the whole thing back to have this little piece replaced. Does any by chance have a bad bag that has this part on it? It is only used on the airspring only replacement part. The airspring is holding air and I've driven it around but I'm worried the line might start leaking or pop out.

I'll see what I find. It comes with the Arnott bags. On my old bag its molded on. This one has two screws holding it on and it's where the airline connects.

No luck man , I just checked and it doesn't look near what you show me. I only did the fronts and the airline connect can't be removed like in your pic.

Sry.

Problem soon to be resolved. Arnott is sending me a new one so I don't have to send it back. Awesome customer service. They called me today to say it will be sent soon.
