Offer her a bunch of shelving installed in exchange.
Yes, Ray, the hoses are permanently attached at the lift ends only. Those were the ends that leaked, not at the pump. So I disconnect at the pump and store the lifts on the floor under the car with the hoses coiled up at one end of the lifts. I did that even with the quik connects, anyway, so what the heck. QJ was giving me excuses and the AN fittings were $30 with my business discount so this is the cheapest alternative.
Come to think of it, when we built those 4 BendPak lifts in SC, all of the air fittings for the safety latches were junk, too. We ended up getting a bunch of new fittings at Lowes which didn’t leak and worked great - Can’t remember who made them.
