Bought Arb locker but somehow misplaced the airline and need replacement quick. I have the repair kit but the tubing in there is to short for a full install. Any ideas? North ridge is out of repair kits, 4 WP is out any ideas?

Are you talking about the copper tube that would be inside the diff housing? Or are you talking about the line that comes from the air supply to the diff itself?

We can offer your a few options. ARB has a Heavy Duty line kit and we also have a roll of the plastic tubing. PM us if you are interested in either option.

Most any truck parts store will have air lines and all the fittings. Truck air system parts are generally the mother lode for other vehicles that use air. At least it always works for me.

if you need a fancy line with braided cover and attached air fittings, it could be another story - but the truck parts would be a substitute that's good enough for truck and bus air brakes. That's a pretty strong recommendation.

Stick with the rubber/plastic. Stay far away from the braided lines. The guys at ARB even told me this back in the day. Their reason, and it makes sense, is the rubber is much easier to fix on a trail.
