This is somewhat racing related (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) I bought a new air pump for my old compressor but have to build a new manifold and re-plumb my air connections. Need some help. I'm using two lines, one is 1/2 steel and the other 1/4 copper. I'm using compression fittings on both. What tap size do I use on the 1/2" compression fitting to tap into my new manifold? On one side the compression fitting will be connected to the 1/2" pipe, the other side (minus the compression fitting) will be threaded into my new manifold. Both sides of the compression fitting are the same. Likewise for the 1/4" compression fitting, i.e., what tap size? Thanks. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I haven't got into the trans yet....... Hopefully next week JP. I'm waiting to hear from Len Hoffman on the status of the heads - but knowing Len he will be contacting me shortly. Hoffman is a real solid guy, nice to work with. BTW did you think about adding one of those truck air deflectors on the front of your trailer. I saw one done this way up at Hoopa and it was a cool set up. The owner said it help the gas mileage. You can typically get the old deflectors from truck salvage yards. Pretty cheap, like $150. |
