Out of a part book for your model or call MCI, Call Luke in NJ US coach. Or maybe someone on here that has your model will answer you here.

I wouldn't call Luke if you don't have any intention of buying the airbags from him, but just looking for info. He is a great resource for us and has supplied our needs for many years, but is not in business to be only an information resource. How about the Facebook bus conversion forum? Best bet is to get the manuals, as you'll be referring to them as long as you have the coach.

FWIW Luke not only had all of my air bags in stock, he also had the fasteners and was significantly cheaper than any local source I could find.  Kind of removes the need to do a lot of shopping around, in my opinion.

Ditto bevans comments.

Home Despot doesn't know diddle about a fine thread 1/2 inch nut.

Order from Luke, if you have read the boards, you've already received his help, either directly or re-stated by someone else.

happy coaching!

I got mine from Luke also, Highly recommend him, Prices are good and fast shipping. BTW I had the part #s and none of the local truck places could get them they were exclusive to a MCI.

Why I told him because you won't get all the parts you need at a truck shop. Special bolts you will need and you can even get them all put together from him so all you have to do is take out the old clean it all up and put in the new ones, test for leaks done. The bolts will be rusted and you will have to cut a few or all sometimes with a dremel or nut cutter. Soak with Kroil and hope etc. ;D Just saying
