Just one quickie then, do I need to worry about the tight radius bends or can I let the new pipe take a wider arc ?
Is there a diagram anywhere on here or on Rave that it would help to
Follow ?
thanks again

You can warm the pipe up carefully with a hot air gun and bend them, @tomcat59alan made up a high quality timber jig to put the bends on the ends at the valve block.

I certainly did,I should have patented it and manufactured them.

This is the best diagram I could find. Three lines to the back, then right rear bag & tank go across the cross member. front left is short, and front right goes round along under the radiator . . . . I think.

Replacements can follow whatever route you like as long as you avoid the exhaust & moving parts !!

That’s Brilliant, thanks !
Of course it’s the right rear that’s giving me the grief !

So I’m making a hilarious meal of this...
decided to test my airbag and line so inflated it -yes, off the vehicle and, predictably, it’s blown the plastic end clean off the rubber.
does anyone have any tips for coaxing the bugger back on ? Or is it time to fork out for (another) new bag ?
thanks
(hangs head in shame)

Oh f*ck. Yes, it would do that with no weight on it.
I think it is new bag time. It might be possible to get it back on by warming the rubber in hot water and using some tyre levers but I am not sure how good the seal would be. The cap has to be pointing the right way for the line to go in, obviously.

A bit of Brut force and washing up liquid .Some time ago i think you could buy just the rubber bit and replace if you got angry enough back when the ends were metal ...Dont haf to get it all the way on, when fitted it should seat its self just get the D,s on the ends lined up top n bottom..... strong wrists ..

Annoyingly I seemed to get it back on at the time but had misaligned it and had to blow it off again.
Maybe some hot water and fairy liquid will do it but have ordered another just in case

Seperated airpsrings happen evey now and then, it's not the end of the airspring. You just need to get the cap back on the bellows (which sounds simple but isn't). Some washing up liquid, short tyre irons and a good vocabulary of swear words is needed. You've already figured out that the top and bottom caps need to be aligned. Good luck man. I don't envy you.
Separated airsprings only happen if the wrong shocks have been fitted. Front shocks fitted on rear for instance.
He took it off the car to test it with nothing to contain it!
