    I agree and have forwarded my instructions to a number of prominent members on this site who were going to produce a package. So yes it will be great for those following to reap some benefits if they can. I just took umbrage to your comment on mark up, on the basis it sounded more like you thought Gordon was ripping us off. If we could do everything ourselves we would never get "ripped off". However most of us dont have the time, skills, or money to do things on one off basis to justify the outlay. Given this kit has been available for at least 6-10 years, I am surprised others before had not realised it could be put together for $100 and still make a tidy profit. As you say its not that anything is specially fabricated that needed to be manufactured other than some scissors to cut the length of air hose!! So good luck all and hope once you have the full kit sourced it is posted up with part numbers from all the suppliers so others can get the EAS at the cheap price.

    I think we are violently in agreement.....it is a great kit and will be a bargain at half the price. Emergency air up instructions

    The small kit probably represented the better deal at the time but I never got around to buying myself.

    I headed down to Enzed today and picked up these:

    IMG_1324.jpg

    There's a 1/8 BSP to M10 adaptor, 1/8 BSP "Hex socket" and a 6MM to 1/8 BSP connector.

    I'm hoping to test fit over the weekend to see if it's BSP or metric thread.

    If it's metric, Enzed said they could tap out half of the hex socket to M10. If it's BSP the socket can be used to adapt the male BSP connector to female.

    This is brilliant - never considered that the Hex socket could have been half tapped out to M10 to form an adaptor.

    Issue with the small kit is that when the air system drops to bump stops you need to crawl under car to fit the connectors. That's why I fitted the full kit.

    Agreed. I originally had the small kit, but after being faced with fitting it 3/4's the way up a steep and very rocky hill climb i decided then and there that I would upgrade to the large.

    Quick update: I’ve not been able to test fit yet. Had a series of unfortunate events.. twisted jack, stuck EPB, 3 wheel bearings, 4 rotors/pads and shoes. Hopefully get the truck back tomorrow. Wallet a lot lighter.

    Finally got time to test the parts and results are not what I expected...

    I have an ARB bar and access was actually easier by removing the drivers side bash plate:

    IMG_1342.jpg

    (I took the opportunity to reroute the lines through the metal brace instead of round the front as they were - lucky they weren't damaged)

    The 1/8" male hose connector fitted perfectly into the valve block (I tested the green input line just to be sure they were the same):

    IMG_1344.jpg IMG_1347.jpg

    But the female 1/8" coupler didn't really fit when trying to thread onto the existing male airline connectors... wha??

    IMG_1345.jpg IMG_1346.jpg IMG_1348.jpg

    Maybe it would thread on with some force.. but I wasn't game.

    What are your thoughts?

    A 1/8th BSP male will thread into a M10x1 female as it is slightly smaller in diameter and the thread pitch is very similar, so the plastic would deform to suit.

    A M10x1 male won’t thread into a 1/8th BSP female because it has a larger diameter than the adaptor. Plus being steel if you force it would strip the thread.

    Right. Seems I forgot to check the M10 thread.

    Anecdotally, checking it now on the bits, it feels as tight as when I tried to fit the male airline fittings into the BSP coupling earlier:

    Will confirm tomorrow.
