The distribution block by the back jack (driver side on my rig) is ONLY held onto the trailer by the hydraulic fittings to the jack. The fittings are not proprietary, they are standard fittings and available at any hydraulic supply store or hose fabricator. As you go bouncing down the road keep in mind that somethings (too many of them too) are not properly braced in the rig and failures with the MS rigs are always an option.

When I had a straight fitting break in Washington I went to a hydraulic supply store and bought 3. One to replace the broken one and a spare of both the straight and 90 degree fitting for future need. I walked out after paying only about $10 for the three. I have already replaced a leaking line previously after taking the old one to a hydraulic hose fabricator. That was less than $20 and none of the hose fittings were salvaged as they were cheap one time use style.
