My brother found the switch from a local guy, I'll see if he remembers the contact info.  

For other parts you may want/need, I'd suggest McMaster-Carr:http://www.mcmaster.com  We also bought some fittings from Home Depot.

When I get home tonight, I'll post some pictures.

There is a guy in the Seattle-ish area selling a converted AC unit for the 1.3 for 75 if anyone is interested.  I plan on just going electric or I would pick it up and try to hack it onto the 1 Liter.

I use the stock a/c compressor with an oil seperator, pressure switch, check valve, 2.5 gal tank, and some other things. I use synthetic PAG 15 oil. The switch and check valve I got from one of those onboard air companys.  Here's a pic. Any ?'s just ask or check the how to on my site.

Nice Idea you got there 87BlackSami..
I just went with the Viair 400 instead.

Works great and portable.

Thanks. The reason I went the route I did is because I run an air ratchet, impact gun, blow gun, and can fill my 35's from 14 psi to 30 in 12-15 seconds. It's nice to just plug in an air hose to my bumper and have 150psi with scfm's.


Oh yeah I almost forgot the best part. A pair of trumpet air horns from a 2 1/2 ton army truck (great for those sleepy drivers at the lights ).

does that scicor jack under the hood get much use

How else do you think he opens his hood?

I knew someone would notice it. I purposely left that there because it drives a friend of mine nuts. Why remove it, what would I put there, a maglight? I carry a high lift which suck for tight places so that's why I have the scissor for those odd jobs.

Dang. Its a bummer I gave away my a/c to someone that needed it
I guess I'll just have to wait the minute or two it takes to fill my little 32s

will that jack even extend enough to touch the frame? =)

In that case I'd use the high lift, but if  I broke a  spring I could put the scissor jack between the axle and bump stop to get me off the trail. Do you understand now why I keep it?  You just never know if you'll need it.

OK, now for my pictures.  The light was pretty harsh, so my apologies.

The air filter and oiler.  This oiler has an adjustable rate and a reservoir that makes it easy to see how much oil is left.  The oil drips into the air stream in the upper bubble, making it easy to gauge the rate that oil is being used.


The view showing the air lines going from the oiler to the compressor, and from the compressor to the condensor.  The copper line near the radiator runs to the in cab pressure gauge.


Here we have the oil separating filter, upper right., with a T to the converted propane tank and the air line.  In the middle, is the manifold, which branches to the pressure switch, pressure relief valve, and the guage line.


A different angle of the above stuff.http://whipp.no-ip.org/gallery/albums/oba/img_2202.sized.jpg[/img]

My pressure guage (oil filled).  It looks like the blinker knob blocks the view, but the visibility is really just fine.


There are a few more pictures here:
