Built in compressor

Post by hendrik.earle »

I've built my compressor into my Hilux Vigo and have a quick connector at every wheel.
To inflate and deflate I connect all 4 tyres simultaneous and then inflate or deflate all of them together.The connectors are closed when not in use so I can connect only one pipe to inflate one tyre or a ball or something.
And because the tyres are all connected to each other their pressures are all the same.

Ek gebruik sommer daai rubbers wat oor n stoel poot gaan, hulle pas presies.

Awesome.... jy gaan dit geniet. Daai stelsel van my het ook baie lekker gewerk. Hou maar net jou compressor ook mooi dop want hy gaan nou harder en langer werk so kyk maar net laat hy nie overheat nie

Dis goeie rubber pyp, glo nie n klip sal dit stukkend slaan nie, maar ek het fittings altyd ini bakkie om n laswerk te doen in n noodgeval.
