I have a 72 mci 5b, the front airbag is leaking air . I do have 2 A,bags that came with the bus po never told me if these were the the right ones,
these are the good year double convolution A,bags part# 2b12-340 & 2b9-240.Or should i try and buy MCI A,bags?

Go to the Firestone web site and they have a nice table that gives the air bags you need to use. Good Luck, TomC

Tom, I did a google search for firestone airbags. Found several sites, but could not find a listing for MCI. Do you have a link we could go to?

You could check the Mohawk catalog to see if the front airbags for and a, b, and c are the same. My guess is that they are. BUT you'll need the hardened bolts and nuts from MCI to make the installation right. It's not an easy task m'friend so be absolutely sure you block the bus so you aren't injured.

I changed mine out with new goodyear bags. I got the bags and the hardware from Luke. It's not a pleasant job, but it ends after a while...

You need the new hardware.

And Luke will send you all the parts you are apt to need on the first try.
