    Which SLS airbags have screw connectors?

    I want to get a new set and keep my old ones as working spares. The current set have the screw connectors and I'd like to keep them so I can easily swap if needed.

    Can anybody confirm which brands still have the screw rather than push connectors please?

    I'd be inclined to keep the old ones in situ for as long as possible and get your money's worth... keep the new ones as spares

    Fair point. I'd still like to keep a set on hand though and I was going to do the mod to allow me to manual inflate if the compressor breaks so really eaved to try and keep the same fittings on the airbags

    In answer to your question..... Contitech have screw on fittings. Hose goes thru brass ferrule, this is then clamped down via screw fitting. Dunlop are push in. Agree with others; leave old ones in until they leak. Or if more than 5 years old and going on a big / hard trip.

    I have a pair of Contitech air springs which are intended to replace the springs the PO put in to reinstate the SLS, just got a couple more things to do first. They appear to be push-in connectors, will post a couple of photos.

    As another previously posted. The push in connectors are screwed in so you get the best of both.

    Happy Days
