    Air locker feed from eas?

    Just about to put in a rear locker (next peoject), but am wondering if I can't just put an 80psi regulator in the eas to provide air for it. Obviously you'd want a good quality one, but it should work in theory....

    Don't see why not. That was my plan when the time came. Good dry air. Use what the P38 came endowed with.

    That's what I've done (except I have not put a pressure regulator on mine).

    My setup has a 10mm feed to both the engine bay and rear loadspace for tyre inflation off the EAS, I have tapped into my rear inflation line for the rear locker solenoid and this only needed 2m of air line to run to the locker from the solenoid, plus it keeps the solenoid away from dust/mud/water.

    Cheers

    I put a small regulator from supercheap in mine setup up at 90 PSI and it works fine. Sure you can go cheaper than that even. Or as Keith does, not run one at all.... Although it is over their recommended pressure of 100PSI, but Keiths had no problems...

    Awesomeness in abundance, thanks

    Kiethy that sounds like the plan for me too.
    I've got a viar 300 compressor I want to run in parallel with the oem one, so that would be good.

    I also have a ball valve to isolate the air to the inflation lines/locker when I'm not needing it. Prevents accidents!
