Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

i only had about 2 hours to work this weekend, starting plumbing and wiring my air ride. What did you guys do as far as shortening the wirining on the Accuair , did you shorten it and re-pin the ends or did you take it out of the middle and just solder it ?????

Mike... let me know what route you take. Right now. I just have mine bundled up in the frame and I hate it. I was thinking about splicing mine but I be skeert.

I havent seen anyone else shorten them so it would be good to know how someone else does it.
