One way valve, that's what I'm forgetting... By the way, my previous post wasnt very clear, but the diagram was what my setup will eventually look like... Well, that was the plan with an ARB locker in it anyway, but of course that's now chaged - I'll be running both tanks at 120psi now.Quote:

Offender can you tell me about the using the Disco suspension compressor. I've got a 110 TD5 and am looking to run an ARB locker and also do the tyres. How do you find it at tyre pumping.
if you get one of the york reciprocating style compressors (be it a danfos, nipondenso or other) they have their own internal oil reserve and dont need the oiler.
and the compressor from the EAS of any of them will work well as a tyre compressor and better than a lot of the other electrical ones out there so long as you dont try to over do it on the duty cycle.

Its quite slow compared to an engine driven one (but which electric compressor isn't?) Otherwise great! Its quiet as a church mouse - I'm using the original rubber isolator mounts on mine. They sit on two brackets I made up, which are riveted to the firewall. It's difficult to see in the photo, but the top bracket is an upside down "J" shape, while the bottom one is C shaped, with the compressor body sitting in the "C" opening. I didn't take any pics when I was doing it, but I hope that explains it.
I imagine you'd want to use an air tank if powering a locker - it will also help speed up tyre inflation.

I have the serpentine type of belt is that what you mean by a "real fan belt"?Quote:

I have had a quick look and it seems possible that you could put another compressor next to the A/C although tight but it would be an extremely tight fit if mounted on top as it looks like the bonnet would not close. And how do you tension it?
Am I missing something?
Thanks
you make up a bracket to deal with the tensioning...
and no the serpentine belt is the big elastic band and the real fan belts are the older v belts.
you can get double belt pullies on the clutches to suit the compressors but Ive not worked out how to do it with the lacky bands short of doubling the pumps up and then putting on a longer belt and then letting the tensioner deal with it.
to power it all go get a cheap compressor from somewhere like cashies or a garage sale, rat the pressure switch and the safety valve and you can use that to control the compressor. Dead 2.5kg gas bottles make excelent bottles for the deefer as they just fit up behind the rear guards and you can just sneak it over the top of the A frame as well as along side the center support member.
follow the thread IVe got going on about 12v compressors, IVe got the electrics just about done on that and will be posting up more pics just as soon as I get my high speed net back.

eBay Motors: JEEP YORK ON BOARD AIR COMPRESSOR WITH CLUTCH NEW (item 180291526432 end time May-18-09 12:10:48 PDT)
I've just recently done this on my 110. I would have done a tutorial but........I didn't.:D
It's very straight forward whatever compressor you choose to use. I read the thread tutorial put up by 200tdi and just went from there. I had a compressor (cheap Bunnings type compressor) that I used as the tank, pressure switch, regulator assembly. I bought an in line oiler from Bunnings as well.
I didn't use a cooling coil because I didn't have anything suitable and it hasn't affected it.
1st pic is my compressor. It's a 96 Disco motor so it's running a serpentine belt and the denso compressor. I grabbed the top plate and hose ends off a BMW at pick a part because they're a better position than the disco ones. You can see the power line from the pressure switch located in the rear of the vehicle. I earthed it (black wire) to the quater panel.
Also on the inlet line I put an in line air tool oiler to lubricate the compressor and I re-used the air filter that was on the 240 volt bunnings compressor as well. Sorry I didn't get a pic of it.:(

Then just a hose clamp straight onto the air line hose.

To the in line filter. It's a reg as well but I just use it as a filter cause I had one there.

Run the hose all the way to the tank. At the tank I have removed the original motor etc and left the pressure switch etc in place. Run a wire back to the switch on the compressor. From the rear wiring loom I just spliced into a line for the wiper motor.

Pull up on the switch at the tank with engine running and it'll fill the whole thing in 30 seconds or so although I haven't actually timed it. It's bloody quick though. It'll run rattle guns and all sorts of air tools as well as pumping up tires in seconds. Too easy!:)
