Ballast Bag Connections

[Steve212x]

Hey Guys

Looking for a ballast bag connection (looks like a blue part to me), mine seems to have gone to the big wake in the sky.
Cant seem to find a part number for this - is this a generic part maybe?

Any help would be appreciated.

14 212x. Mine popped as well. Threads are shot. Went to buy through you're link and only 1 left. Want to do both gotta call tomorrow.

Let me know what they say. I only ordered one, but like your idea of doing both proactively.

also I think it’s gonna be a PITA to get that hose connected!

I messed around last night with connection once I saw 1 was sepeerated. I removed the speaker and could do it 1 handed

What’s the trick for removing the speaker? I got the parts, they are the correct ones. But super hard to get back to the connection from under the seat.

was thinking i could release the pipe from the pump and push it through from the engine side allowing me to access it without morphing into a contortionist. Once connected pull it back and connect to the pump again.

interested to avoid that, as I’ve heard those pipes are really tight on the pump and wouldn’t want to risk damaging it

Also the fitting going into the factory bag is a POS. Even with the fitting pushed all the way into the bag I can’t get a positive feeling of it being tight without it slipping off the threads.
Saw a post where they removed the plastic locking ring and replaced with a hose clamp on the bag side. Thinking this is the best way to go here.

I pulled 4 screws and speaker and grill just pulled right out. Yes bag fitting is pos. I put silicone on fitting before I screwed in
