    Well the airbags and kevlar sleeves have been fitted to monty

    Not the most pleasant job, it has to be said... The sleeves turn it into quite a chore

    But done it is and ready are we when the chance arises

    the min pressure in the bags is 5psi with or without the sleeves

    the sleeves are an 1" or so longer than the bags and you need to centralise the bag in the sleeve when fitting..

    time will tell the tale on the rest of it..

    doing a few klms today so i will be wiser tonight on the subject i hope...

    well, that went well...

    no noises and the ride is still excellent

    the bags in the rear of the rangie wore thru the paint on a set of king springs with little trouble i imagine the kevlar liners will do the same to the springs on monty

    the bags are way easier to fit to a landy than a ba fairmont i'll give you the drum...

    definetly happy so far
