Best P38 EAS air line-valve block fix

[WaltNYC]

I tapped the EAS valve block and am now using threaded compression fittings to seal the air lines into the block. Much more reliable and easier to remove and re-attach reliably.


ditch the collets, use threaded compressions on your valve block

I wish the air spring lines had a better method of attaching to the spring. Trying to release the rear lines on a P38 with some age and dirt on it is not fun.

Use a trim tool to hold the PTC release "in", then remove the air line. I did a redo on all my air lines, including parallel manual fill lines and new collets. I've had zero problems with the stock fittings.

Where did you source the air line tubing? 6mm lines are somewhat difficult to find
