Default MARS or EAS emergency Kit

Does anyone know of a source for the emergency bypass EAS kit?
Airbag man in AUS is out of stock, and the ones on ebay are over $500!
P38 ones should work fine.
Thanks!

Are you trying to get rid of the EAS?

No, not get rid of EAS, this is just the emergency bypass where you can manually inflate individual bags in case EAS fails.
Here are examples:

I see. I didn’t know a kit was available. I tee’d 4 Schraeder valves into my P38 (one per air spring). It was a fairly simple job. I did it a few years ago so I don’t remember where I got the fittings from.

Well, to close this thread, I did two things
1. Went to amazon and bought 6mm fittings and 6mm air line. The fittings are all plastic, but seem to work just fine. I hooked these up to scrader valves and was able to manually inflate my airbags while rehabbing my EAS.

2. I bought a kit from "air bag man" this seemed expensive to me @ around $150 USD. Good things: really good quality fittings that I trust; 200 PSI nylon hose. Bad thing they use 1/4" fittings. This is ok since they are internal ****** and compression fittings. They are not going anywhere.
Compared to the push fittings where the 6mm and 1/4" difference feels more important.
I should take one apart and see if the o-rings are actually different!

Good news. Let us know in a month or two if it continues to work well.
