customer supplied mountIng plate and tightening into the blind nut. If this bolt is too long, it may fracture the bottom out of the blind nut.

TANK VALVE One method for inflating air springs (primarily used in Airmount isolator applications) is with a tank valve: An air hose chuck is used (as inflating a

tire with an air line). Care must be taken to periodically check the pressure within the air spring, because air will slowly permeate through the rubber/fabric bellows (See page 25).
