Hi All

Looking at building a auxilary air tank and was wanting a pressure cut of switch. Anyone got any ideas where to pick one up. I was wanting about 100psi cut off. I have tried Enzed, Pirtek and Beissbarth.
thanks

Crazie,
There are a couple of options. I went to Trade Tools (Qld) and purchased a pressure switch from an industrial compressor for $30. It's a 240volt job but works well switching my home-made endless air (a couple of Amps for the clutch). The other option that I priced was the pressure switch off an ARB compressor ($40 avail. thru their spare parts). The advantage of the industrial compressor switch is that you can vary the cut-in and cut-out pressures, but the unit is a bit bulky and just takes up more precious space under the bonnet. Depending on what compressor your running you may need to use the pressure switch to control a relay.

Best of luck...
Squire.

I did look at the industrial cut off switches but thought it was too bulk to fit. Thanks for your help, I will trial the ARB one and see how that goes.
thank you
