air bag air valve extension
Okay, I need an air valve extension for my airbag. The hose broke near the original valve. I cut off the bad part and installed the original valve. However, it is now too short to extend outside the body. I bought a 1" extension, but to hold it in place I have to put a nut on the threads. With the nut on, there is not enough thread left for even the air pressure gauge, let alone the compressor hose clamp. I have not found an extension with enough threads to solve my problem. I have to undo the nut holding the valve extension on the outside of the body, check the pressure, air it up if desired then rethread the nut to hold it in place on the outside. I would love to find even a 1" extension with threads all the way. Suggestions?
