Barry

Thanks muzzgit, funny I contacted same guy not willing to devulge any info to me either happy to take my money
Been thinking of the Max Air as well
Barry

I gather he wouldnt as he has worked out how to fit them...

I believe the procedure to get the comp to work as an air compressor is to remove the oil if it has any and pack the the plate etc with grease....now for the intellectual property bit.....investigate, design and manufacture a mounting solution to suit comp and engine that compressor is to be installed on.....

If you had done all the hard work ie investigate, design and manufacture a mounting solution etc, would you tell you how to fit it ?

Lucy,

Can you post some details on where to get in touch with Endless Air.

Wayne

Morning Wayne

Here are the Endless Air contact details

Endless Air
John Bach
Kareela Engineering
2 Tamar Court, Mentone VIC 3194
PH: 03 9584 4785
MOBILE: 0418 175 656
FAX: 03 9584 5837

However, as you to have a Troopy, I would suggest you contact me via contact details in my profile, because if you think other things are 'tight in life', nothing is as tight as fitting an endless air into a Troopy.

Having said that, there are two options with the endless air kit being the cheapest and easiest.

Regards

Ken Robinson

Hi Lucy
As nudenut pointed out why would you devulge the info after your hard work I was only trying to find out how they were fitted and how difficult they are to fit & see one fitted what is easy for one person to fit doesn't mean the next can do it as easy I just wanted to see what I was getting before I handed over my $1000
If you have one in your troopy why are you using two 12 volt compressors have you sold the troopy ???
I appreciate your reply nice to know they are as good as claimed
Cheers
Barry

(1) Mr Endless air whose details I have posted for Wayne on this thread will tell you and show you anything you want.

(2) I live in the Waverley/Monash area of Melbourne and have no objections to you coming to have a squizz at my Endless Air setup. (can contact me on email addy in profile etc)

(3) Why do I have two other compressors - well its like this, when I first started to fit the Troopy out in 2000 I wanted to utilise an endless air, however the kit at time was for an overhead mount above the aircon Compressor which (a) was virtually mission impossiible to fit and (b) if you did manage to get it strapped on, there was only the proverbial Bee's P E N I S clearance all round including the bonnet.

So I purchased an ARB with tank for ARB airlockers which I intended to put in later. This I did both back and front.

I had a minor conniption at Dalhousie in Apr/May 2yrs ago with the ARB Compressor which I managed to fix prior to crossing the SD West to East. However if I couldn't have, then there were no lockers which I had to use a number of times while crossing the Simpson which was powder dry and difficult after the summer heat.

So I made the decision then and there that I would carry an emergency spare, which I used as stated above on this years OBC.

(4) Whilst at the OBC I saw a number of these devices in use, both homemade jobs and the endless air.

I also saw some fibre glass bonnets that competitors had had made to fit over head extra altinators and super chargers under. Hello, here was the solution to my endless air fitting problem.

Came back to Melbourne and found a Fibre glass shop that made Troopy bonnets with a raised mid section and rang Endless Air.

(5) Guess what? Nup! not in a million years. Endless Air have discontinued the O/Head mount and R & D'd a below Altinator mount.

Long story cut short, I now have one, The ARB is now dedicated to the Lockers only, but can be used if necessary for tyres and I still have the Bluetongue IV.

Now that you have my life story on compressors, what is your next move.

Hi Chris, Is your GU a ST with air etc. I cant imagine where it would fit. Do they have a setup for later td6 2003, the radiator is longer but mere norrower and the hoses are different.. This may not even affect installation.. Michael

Thanks Chris for your reply sounds like they are a great unit I would just like to see how they are fitted to see if my limited skills are up to it
Be carefull you don't wear your "Horn" out !!!
Cheers
Barry

Michael,

Yes, it is an ST with air con.

It mounts on the RHS under the fuel pump.

See below note to Barry. I'll send you a pic for reference.

Chris

Chris,

Now you've gone and revved Roachie up and made him all jealous!
A Train Air Horn!......You reading this Bill?:-)

Thanks Mick I'll check it out, as I said earlier I'm trying to find the info before I hand over the dollars
Cheers
Barry

Thats interesting because I was told by Endless Air ( Kareela Engineering) that they are fitted to "ALL" RACV vechicles
Mind if I ask how you know ??
Cheers
Barry

A friend of mine works for the RACV they have not used them for years they use two big reds or two blue tongues mounted on top of air tank.
