Finishing up my airbag and shock replacement and wonder if anyone has a source for 3/8 OD air tubing in bulk, would like to carry some spare tubing for emergencies
Thx
Hans
What about the big truck places around Greenville/Spartanburg?
This place is in Rock Hill, SC.
MPParts | 3/8 Inch Black DOT Tubing | 00006 (https://mpparts.com/part/3-8-inch-black-dot-tubing-00006)
Pretty sure most NAPA stores carry DOT brake line and fittings.

found it @ McMaster-Carr
McMaster also has a good selection of fittings
what is the standard size right angle fitting for the air bag 3/8 hoses?
1/4 npt male x 3/8 od compression DOT fitting.. I have early and late DOT fittings the late ones have the "crush" pipe on the fitting the early stay in line. they do not interchange have to modify the line.
So this picture is of the compression NPT??
Yes and it is probably the old style with the insert in the tubing not on the elbow. I had to find old stock to keep the same configuration.
I have some "old style" (hopefully) fittings coming tomorrow, will update this thread when I get them.
Can anyone advise where I can purchase these fittings?? and perhaps ship to Canada??

My local NAPA store has these all the time.

Do you happen to have the part number this old style NPT from NAPA?
I do not have a part number. I just took an old one in and matched it up. It is a common part on big trucks. I'm sure a truck stop service shop/truck dealership would also have them.

Peter you should not have any trouble finding the parts locally, a truck shop or a fitting place.
This is the McMaster Carr Link

This should get you a good start.
