Bendpak RJ-45 Air Supply

[Chris05gto]

Hi,
I have one Bendpak RJ-45 (on my HD-9 lift) rolling jacks and I have one on the way.
My question is for those who have two 45's, how did you run your air suppy?
Did anyone go with the Bendpak AK-14 air line kit?
Thanks, Chris

I have 2 RJ7 jacks both fed off one 1/2" feed hose to a 3/8" 20' line to each end of my lift. I used push connect fittings. I also ran a stainless steel 3/16" cable full length of the runway to support the two coiled hoses that feed each jack. I did not like a long coiled plastic hose dangling depending where the jacks were. This stainless steel cable kept the hoses tight along the runway. I copied and got the idea off my better built Rotary lift.

Looks like a nice setup!

Love this setup
What material is the hardline air tube?

It reminds me of a air line say for a aquarium.

I really like the way you set up the air lines to your rolling jacks. I would like to do the same with the HD-9XL and (2) RJ45's that I just ordered.

Would you share with me where I can get the materials you used. Right angle brackets, cable and cable ends...

Thank you so much.

The right angle brackets were Boeing surplus brackets I've had for years and the cable I had made up by a local sail boat rigging company. I told them the length and to swage on theaded ends so i could really tighten the plastic covered 1/4" cable so it would not droop at all.
