I have a 75 Deville with the rear air ride system. My car was wrecked at one time in its life and the 1/8 inch plastic line was cut by the passenger fender and never reinstalled to the pump. I took the brass nut off the pump where the line would connect and there's no ferrule or anything in there. Where can I get a new fitting so I can get the air ride working? I dont care if its factory correct as long as it works.

I had started to work on the air ride when I first got the car and some one told me there was a gasket on the ferule will it work with out it.
Heres the picture he put up.

I would also like to find a source for those fittings.  But so far no luck. 

If you have the fitting on both ends you can make a splice using standard 1/8 inch compression fittings from the plumbing section of the hardware store.  Around here the big box stores do not carry that size, so I go to Ace Hardware.  They have a limited selection.

I have the one on the other side but the gasket and ferule is missing. I have the nut and the fitting on the compressor. Has anyone tried just changing the fitting  on the compressor to something new and hooking the 1/8 inch line up that way?

I have what you need if you can't get one locally, but the postage from Australia will not be cheap.

Or, I can get it to one of the USA Members that is coming Down Under for the Cadillac Rally in April for them to bring back in their pocket.
