Gen-set air bags

eagle10 · March 30, 2011, 07:45:48 AM

I have a Martin diesel 17.5 generator that needs air bags as they are leaking. Waiting for a call back from Martin but wondering if anyone knows of other places to get them. Any tips on putting them on to make the job easier??

FWIW I have never seen "generator air bags." But I suppose they are just small air bags on the mounts to take out some of the vibration.

Might try ebay for some small "sleeper" airbags.

I have seen them many times. I have never had them on my other two conversions that we did but the one we have now has them.

I guess EAGLEs need air ride on the generator since they don't have it on the suspension!

bk I am not looking for air bags to go in my EAGLE 10 gen-set but for the gen-set in the Prevost we recently bought. Thanks for your inspiring comments and what help you have offered today.

Sounds like a lot of air bags on the BCM site.

I don't think your going to like the prices from Martin - while their shop rates are low, they more than make up for it on parts - FWIW

Martin Diesel told me that they want $73 plus shipping for each air bag. I am still hunting for someone else that sells them to get other prices.
Thanks for the other contacts. No luck so far.

Don't get the passenger airbag - they're really noisy!
