Grande Airbag Retaining after a Lift

[1coolbanana]

Someone should start an SST rental business!
Unlikely for most of us to ever need one more than once and that will be for fitting the spacers

Cheers Craig, Shan. Haven't installed mine yet.

I'm waiting for the prototype SST to come from the US. It got shipped today. So for those who already have the SST, I can ship immediately.

Sweet, already got my own SST

Here are photos of the test fit. Found the right size grub screw which requires a ball-ended allen key to tighten up.

And here's the finish product with all stainless steel hardware.

Brilliant work Amts!

Please price the products including the SST and let me know how to get the $$ to you.
Maybe we can transact this bit via PMs

Exciting!!!

Test fitted the spacers tonight. Had to seek advice from Peter about how to deflate the airbags.

The spacers fit perfectly. The cross drilled hole is a bit too high. The bolt would hit the airbag base which has a lip that turns down. I'll look into grub screws next week.

I could move the hole down but the airbag pin is pretty short and stubby. I had the rear at full droop and it doesn't look like it was going to dislodge. I tried levering the pin out and it wouldn't come out. So with the spacer in, it would be even less likely to dislodge.

Hi Peter,

You're the man! Meet somewhere in the Hay plains?

If only I could get the time off work...

Yeah, me needs to sneak away from missus in middle of night to complete testing.

Hi AMTS,

Me likes the work.
I am very keen on hearing the results of your testing and getting my hands on some of them
Thanks

Jeff

Marc, I have tried this and while it does deflate the airbags, I found the residual pressure was still too high to allow the airbag to be safely lifted off it's seat.

Bugger, was worth a shot, thanks Peter.
