Re: air bag pluming help

Avoid exhaust and sharp edges . Gromets are verry use full but bulkheads are better IMO. Secure lines using lock ties or opressors cuz viration in even the softest (SPELL?) area is killer. Go over every thing with soap & water to check for leak's. Avoid all moving parts.

Re: air bag plumbing help

If your running plastic line, keep it well away from any heat source. Even getting too near the catalytic converter will cause the line to blow. You can protect it with grommets, split wire loom, or split rubber hose where it can't burn, or rub through.

Re: air bag plumbing help

The only thing I see that you should be planning out now is the exhaust. If you mock it up now, you can route your lines well away from any potential heat source.

Beyond that, everything is looking good. That's going to be a sweet stepper when you get done. Don't forget when setting up your suspension that real hot rods have rake....
