90 degree fitting for coolride cups?

[Jimmy P]

I currently have air lines coming straight up into the engine compartment with straight air fittings. I bought some 90s from a store locally and they wouldnt work in the coolride cups. If i remember right you cant turn them to tighten them or something. Basically I want to run my lines inside the frame rails to my valves/tank out back to clean up the chassis and engine compartment. What can I do?

Also I was planning on running my air lines inside some split loom or maybe rubber hose to protect it from getting damaged inside the box tube. What do you guys use?

What I do is get a pipe thread street 90, and screw that into the bag, then bolt the bag to the cup, and then stick the straight fitting into the street 90 thru a hole in side of the cup, and tighten it up that way.

as far a protecting the airline, I have 5/8" heater hose wrapped around most of my airline. that seems to work very well.

how much is that stuff and where did you get it?

not quite sure how much it was. i got it from pepboys. I mainly got it because my front valves are mounted under my hood, so the front airline is pretty close to the exhaust manifold and i didnt want my line to melt. but i also put it on every spot where it had a chance to rub. so far so good.

Yeh Jimmy, The street elbow is what I plan on doing, it seems to be the only fitting that I can get in there.
