You gona run a small tank for the air?

Lolz hours of fun

Yeah I've got a 9 litre stainless fire extinguisher knocking about I did some work on it a year or so ago but never managed to finish it with a suitable fitting, so watch this space.

Otherwise will have to get tank(s)

Want to carry plenty of air so I can use air tools

Nice one mate yeah they are, used to use ARB comp and had this just for tyres, seemed a waste to carry it about, never got used cos it was buried.

With proper OBA I will use more often too.

Gonna fit inline oiler and hope for the best regards longevity

What you could do (what I did).. have a Y/T off the tank, one is an un regulated un oiled output and 1 is a regulated oiled output.
That way you get the best of both worlds.

It doesn't look that different, externally, to my T-max, though mine's not the double header ..

Might take mine apart, I don't usually take new stuff apart till it breaks, but this could be an interesting comparison.

Mind, so much extra to do before North Yorks ... doubt I'll have time to do it properly.

Oiler will be fitted after filter before compressor, it's sole function is to lubricate the piston rings

Where did you get all your bits and bobs from? Find anywhere good?

Hi paul

They're pretty simple

I noticed the t max is a larger unit albeit single cylinder, I expect the cylinder capacity to be larger on the tmax because the output is very good

However the benefit of a twin cylinder is, as with anything, the cylinders are 180° opposed so airflow will be more smoothly and perhaps efficiently provided

Taking stuff apart before breakage is the answer

Often you find ways to prevent breakage by working out how something works

Mr Noisy · Mar 15, 2014

For the record though, a coalescing filter before the output PCL valve will be a good idea to prevent oil in tyres.

Mr Noisy · Mar 15, 2014

I would really like AC compressor conversion but I don't want to run the engine for air.

Also, engine might be broken down and i could use the air to work on it!

If I have problems with output in future I will work on a tandem system I guess.

For the rings in the compressor or/and in the tools?

All my bits are accumulated over time (hoarding) and mainly the bay of the e.

Mr Noisy · Mar 15, 2014

Yeah I'm concerned about wearing the compressor out, particularly if it is ****part!

mbwoy84 · Mar 15, 2014

Excellent work, loving this!

johnlad · Mar 15, 2014

do you have the reset switch Sam, from that compressor? or will you be using it yourself

Thanks mucka!

What reset switch is that john? It has a thermal switch apparently but I haven't seen it, must be internal?!

Mr Noisy · Mar 15, 2014

Drilling and tapping for 1/4BSP x 8mm fittings

thought it might be like the t max one with a reset button, as mine's gone tits up, and no spares available for it

Mr Noisy · Mar 15, 2014

No mate sorry

Can't you just bypass?

Sure I could sort it out if you're struggling.

i think i could bypass if i get time, but its not really used now since getting the bigger arb with airline its sat in the garage

Mr Noisy · Mar 15, 2014

As and when

Mr Noisy · Mar 18, 2014

No monster progress at the moment to be honest, just tackling the monster task of gathering all the parts I need to sort this out, so many different things going on at one time :jaw:

Anyway compressor bits painted, assemble tomorrow:

Transfer case cleaned up, parts solvent washed, casings polished:

Have today secured an aircon pump and brackets setup for the mechanical air pump build, pics to follow on that

Some pics of my Disco :D
