rear airbag fitting and notch

My airbag has 1/2" hole. How did you get your fitting to fit through the notch and two layers of frame?

put the fitting in the bag first then put the bag in. The hole will need to be larger than the fitting because of the thickness. Don't forget the thread sealant. You don't want to chase down leaks.

my fitting is too short to fit through the frame and notch. Anyone else have that problem? I saw someone had a pic of a nipple or something

I used a 90º swivel fitting for this very reason. It's longer on the NPT end.
