Go to www.mcmaster.com and look for these part numbers. Should be what you are needing. I am running Porterbuilt on front and rear and these worked perfect for me.

Part# 6436K74 2 Each Two-piece Clamp-on Shaft Collar, Aluminum, 1-1/4" Bore, 2-1/16" Od, 1/2" Width

Part # 6436K76 2 Each Two-piece Clamp-on Shaft Collar, Aluminum, 2" Bore, 3"outside Diameter, 11/16"width

Re: Accuair/Porterbuilt

Thanks. Just wondering if attaching the collar to the upper arm might be better?

Re: Accuair/Porterbuilt

How about these? Cheaper than the McMaster Carr ones.

I posted these in another thread. I found these on Instagram but haven't seen them around here. They aren't on http://www.littleshopmfg.com yet but the guys over there were very helpful and got them sent fast. If I remember right the whole set was 25 bux or so shipped.

Re: Accuair/Porterbuilt

The manifold can be placed wherever. I like in the cab behind the seats for everything so no worries about weather.
Tank and comp can go outside, you really only need one line in anyways. Fast enough for me

The exhaust is not loud at all.
You can also run a small section of line outside the cab if you are really bothered. Or the accuair mufflers but they are pricey.
