Great gauges Batman!!!
Excellent reproduction of our 69 Firebird’s 160mph speedo plate. My original smudged when trying to clean it and stencils do not exist! This saved my bacon for sure. Small details make the restoration. Thx Parts Place!

Great air-line kit!
2 of 2 found this helpful The 3/4" kit is a great kit. The product cam well packaged, was delivered promptly (Northern Tool) and had all the parts indicated in the listing. It was fairly straight-forward to install, I found some Rapid-Air video's on Youtube to help me better understand the steps. Alot of folks complained about it being hard to work with the line (as it comes rolled up). I treated it like steel automotive fuel/brake line and it worked just fine. My biggest issues were:
- The air-line drops (outlets) have an opening in the back (kit comes w/plugs to close them up). I (very dumb) installed the drop and pressurized the system, forgetting to plug the back hole. No big deal, just had to unbolt from the wall, put some tape/pipe-dope on the plug and re-install - problem solved
- I wish they had included a couple of more 3/4" to 1/2" NPT fittings. I installed an air-dryer in my setup, and it uses up your 1/2" NPTs quickly.
- Too bad the kit doesn't have a way to T-off and plug the unused side. T's included are compression fittings only (meaning you have to join a 3/4" aluminum line). I was hoping to T-off and plug the one side until later (for a subsequent drop). Right now, I just have 1 single drop (sufficient for my shop). I probably used < 15' of aluminum line!
All in all a well-made kit, much better than the retail (soft-line) 3/8 or 1/2" Rapid-Air version you see for sale. If you have a larger compressor (mine is an I/R 80gallon 2-stage) you need the heavy-duty lines.
