Air bag/Prevost question

[Ace]

I agree guys that the air line should never had been bent and kinked but the mechanics say its ok and it won't be a problem but I beg to differ! The last thing I need is an air line going to a bag to break or split due to their negligence in the first place!
It looks like I will have them replace the ones they linked at their cost!
I mean the guy already broke off one of the mounting studs on one bag and I had to buy a new one which will be here Monday am so it looks like they just made more work for themselves!

I lied, we didn't take the stud out, we managed to get enough tread to get a full bolt on it. Stud removal was one of the thoughts from the lawn chair group but after an hour of chat, drinks and theory the spectators decided against it. I was busy at Q, doing a couple of other meaningful activities.... I apologize for the confusion.. I did however take the old bag this morning and tried to remove the stud, don't, it snapped off... whoops

Ace,

I would be very uncomfortable with them thinking that kinking it like a garden hose is OK.   

Just because he always does it, doesn't mean its right, just maybe convenient for his troubleshooting purposes.

Just my opinion,
