The Air Lift Single Needle Gauge Panel with One Paddle Switch part # AL26161 can be used if you only want to use one valve to control both air bags. Since you currently have 2 valves controlling the air bags, you will need to "T" the lines coming from both air bags into one line, using the Air Lift Union T-Piece for 1/4" Air Lines part # AL21838.
We do sell replacement air fittings if you would like to replace yours. However, I would need to know the NPT fitting size used on the back of your air valve and the size of the air lines running to it. The common size for the air valve fitting is a 1/8" or a 1/4" NPT. The common size for air lines are 1/4", 3/8", or 1/2". For a 1/4" NPT fitting to a 1/4" line, I recommend using the Firestone Connector for 1/4" Tubing, 1/4 NPT part # F3046-1. For a 1/8" NPT fitting to a 3/8" line, I recommend using the Firestone Connector for 3/8" Tubing, 1/8 NPT part # F3277-1.
If you do not wish to replace the air fittings and still wish to retain separate control of both air bags, you will want to use the Replacement Dual Needle Gauge with 2 Paddle Switches for Air Lift Compressor Systems part # AL26229. Regardless of which option you pursue, I strongly recommend using the Loctite Thread Sealant 545 part # LT37482 to prevent leaking.
