    compressor options

    TANKS!!!!! What are you going to be running? My dive bottle pumps my 31:10.5:15`s fine also will run a few air tools, unless you want to run a 1/2 " gun I don't think you would need that much volume mate.

    compressor options

    As requested. My onboard air set up..... The compressor gubbins for pressure relief valve, shut off and outlets.... The dive bottle mounted where the dickie seat was... The sanden a/c pump off a 300tdi es....... The extra tensioner you also need.... All plumbed in with fittings...

    compressor options

    I used the gubbins from an old compressor and the clutch is just 12v so I used an ignition live that goes to the pressure switch so when the receiver is up to maximum pressure it turns the clutch off and when it drops bellow the set pressure it kicks back in. I'll post photos if you interested?

    compressor options

    I use a a/c compressor with a dive bottle for my onboard air. This could be used for air horns but I only use it for tyres and tools.

    Rear crossmember replacement

    I replaced my cills with 100x60 box and it took me and a mate all easter bank holiday last year. Be prepared to chop back LOADS as you just seem to get further into the car looking for good steel to weld to.
