You have and out dated intake metal hose now is updated braided metal hose , any way olive done this on my c15 cat and changed air compressor a few times but on my intake line ok but the elbow that connects to intake hose has stripped off air compressor any suggestion on thread repair air compressor works fine I don't want to buy replace cat wants almost 1400 ouch when 2 years ago was 600 with core now I'm using ratchet. Strap to hold down line I wish I could just but a new top bracket looks like you can unbolt it and exchange it but no parts can be bought for that , I have never disassembled a air compressor before not sure if top part is available
