Now this I'm very interested in them arb compressors are so expensive
Mr Noisy
Coming in your ears.
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

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.

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

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

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
