GOE EAS Emergency Air Up Kit missing bits? - HELP Please!

[gavinwibrow]

Looking at Gordon's partially cut off website pic, by any chance, can anyone tell me how many of each bit I should have for the "Front" and "Rear" connectors packages please.

I appear to have all of the

(a) - "Miscellaneous" (2 double ended air connectors, 2 short pieces of air line and some cable ties) and

(b) - "Inflate" (4 valve cap assemblies with about 18" of air line each), but I think I also should have at least 4? of each of

(c) - the "Front" joined threaded female/male air connectors (I have 2),

and

(d) - the "Rear" bits (I only have 2 male air and male threaded elbows, but without any threaded brass connectors - like those as fitted to the front connectors).

Supposed to be heading bush in 9 days, so any help appreciated so I can con DazzaTD5 into fitting for me prior.

Not sure which kit you have, but here are the fitting instructions with parts list for both

Having come to the conclusion that I’m never going to see my air up kit I been thinking.

In theory all you really need is to disconnect the existing air hose from the air spring to valve block. For the front airspring connect a longer air hose so you can loop it out to beside the radiator then back to the valve block.

Cut the hose near the radiator and rejoin with a connector. All you need now is a schrader valve on a short length of air hose.

Someone who has installed a kit can most probably tell me why you need the other parts. Maybe without the 90 degree connectors the air hose will kink...

Perfect - thanks Kelvo.
As it turns out I have a complete small kit, but I think I'll get the extra bits and fit for the big kit.

Having now read most of the instructions thanks to Kelvos excellent post, if anyone has actually fitted the big kit, is it still possible to fit it if you can't get access to the spare wheel well area?
The reason being, I have an auxiliary tank in there, so this could complicate or even negate installation.
I wait with bated breath!!

Along similar lines, I've been thinking much the same.
Surely the connectors can be found, and the airline - is there anything "proprietary" about the kit?
If GOE aren't trading any longer, then it is something others should consider.
If someone has the unused parts, it should be possible to match them from a supplier somewhere.
I recall a post from a long time ago where, I think it was Gordon, said the connectors were higher pressure than what is normally available. But I don't recall the exact details.

I'm off to my local Pirteck store to check for appropriate top up bits. Brilliant service and know what they are talking about/know their stuff.
Will feedback what I find out, especially about high pressure stuff.

Sent PM if you want to borrow my kit to match parts

Following this thread with great interest, as I am interested in making up my own kit. Details, part numbers, anything similar that you guys find in your research, much appreciated. Photos always appreciated.
