Question f9000's ?'s

this might be a stupid question but on the 9000's can i use 3/8 line or does it have to be 1/4th?
Would it be a problem? I don't think it would but just asking because i have conti's 2600's and there are rubbing on the inside of the notch or where rubbing and i thought it wouldn't be a problem but today they went boom! (after about 6 months or driving) and i dont to what to change the airline out if i don't have to. One more question would they just bolt on to the existing holes of my conti's.

Thanks!

No need to change the airline. Just make sure you get the correct fitting.

The f9000's take a single 3/8-16 bolt right in the middle for the bottom and two 3/8-16 bolts in the top.

Re: f9000's ?'s

You can buy a one piece fitting that is 1/4 NPT and 3/8 line, we have them here for that purpose. As for as bolting them in the same place as a 2600# bag, yes and no. You may have to drill a center hole on lower plate if not so equipped, and drill to closer holes for the upper mounts.
