Nope electric valves.

I'm making pssssshhhht noises! I just have to fix 2 leaks now.

awesome! man I did it the wrong way and didn't test it outside the car first

I'm using power supply from a old computer to test everything. It's working pretty well.

Starting to get a little frustrated.

These fittings are so soft. Im putting everything together in my girlfriends back room. She has a very limited selection of tools so I need to bring any tools I need from my house.

Ive been using an open end adjustable wrench for most of the fittings. But I'll strip this 1/2 - 3/8 fitting if I try any harder.

I planned on getting it sealed before work too see if I lost any pressure by the time I got home.

What ever. The bob the builder tool set just isn't cutting it.

You using loctite 565 on all the fittings?

No, thread tape. Should I be using loctite?

Well I know most of the guys over on the stance and air ride forums say use loctite 565 for any NPT fittings.. but others on there say Teflon tape is fine. .. I guess it's kinda like our IC's lol some say rtv only others say gaskets... ya know... I will be using the loctite 565 when I do my bags, but you might be fine with just tape.. If it doesn't leak just leave it.. but if it does I would switch

The Teflon tape seems to be working fine.

I just didn't use enough the first time

I'd personally just do the loctite. Might as well just do it once n not have to worry. Just like my zzp fuel logs, red loctite fixed my fuel leak after trying others.

Those damn zzp logs passed me off.. 400 bucks and they leaked! My little C - clip that holds the braided fuel line in popped off which made the hose come out too.. I also loctite the **** out of the area lol

Haha yeah, I popped that c clip out to see what was holding that on there. I needed to make sure that the ss lines were tight enough. As long as they function properly now I'm good lol. But at the time it was frustrating.

The thread tape worked fine. I just wasn't using enough. Here's a video.

Is that how your planning on leaving it?

No it's temporary for now.

I want to keep my spare until I'm done with commuting to school.

id paint, stain, or burn the wood frame you made. burn i mean use a torch to bring out the woods natural highlights
