I had another day of battling with the mog linkage today. I'm actually somewhere near being done now. Getting the rams into the chassis rails is a laugh isn't it.... They don't give you a lot of room in there! I've connected my tipper ram to one of the front feeds for now and am using both the back ones on the linkage. It's connected up and it moves (it's pretty rusty and used to be seized solid, so that's actually quite a result!).

It seems though that I now have a leak in one of the metal pipes that connects the two linkage rams together. Is this something I can replace with a flexi type design, or do I need to have the fittings made up from steel?

I also went and got a hose made up so I can pump my tyres up from one of the trailer feeds. I've adapted a blanked off palm coupling to 1/4 bayonet so a standard airline plugs into it. Should do the trick. Now I just need to find a clamp on hose so I don't have to stand and hold the airline on there while it pumps up.

How long a is the piece you need, i have some here as I replaced all 4 of mine. I also have a bender for the pipe. Give me a ring tomorrow if you are around.

Neil, I have a genuine tyre inflation hose here. Brand new and in the wrapper. It clips on and I dint need it. I use my workshop one from an outlet I fitted.
