I spotted a second hand Air Ride setup for sale on the NSRA website, and it turned out to be the guy who I bought the wheels for the ’55 off. A week or so later, and two large boxes arrived at work for me. It was all as it had been pulled off the car, so it was covered in muck and looked a bit of a mess. I spent a few hours cleaning it all up, then temporarily plumbed it all together for a test. With the wiring setup to run off a battery, I turned it all on. It buzzed away for a few minutes, then had a go of the switches and both sets started to move about as you’d expect.

It was all new to me, and I thought it was really cool. I guess I need to get out of the house more!. Happy that it all worked as it should, I pulled it all back to bits, cling wrapped everything but the shocks and put it all back away. The mountings were swapped front to back for what I wanted, so I pulled both sets to pieces, and put them back together with the different tops on. A quick test of how they look in the frame before they got packed away too. Wont need them for a long time yet, but one more tick off my wishlist of bits.
