Detergent is what a lot of old school tyre fitters use... don't need much.
Most 'camping patrols' usually have some around IE hand wash, dish wash, shampoo, swedish backpackerrrrr.... uuummmm... better leave it there

'Big Rubber Ring' I have heard of but not personally seen in action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SebAXOA76Gc
Still needs some lube anyway and IIRC they are goddam expensive for a bushy once in a blue moon back of the Trol use.
Which is why I have heard of people using bike inner tubes for the same purpose I spose

PMSL :-)
Bike inner tube is a great idea, would pack away heaps easier too!

FWIW pics below are far from a perfect setup but quite happy for now.
L/R on air rear controls and gauges on pillar pod, easily reached standing outside in the paddock too.
Rear extra cab wall mounted gadgets with compressor and third battery below false floor.

Hehehehe...

I reckon I have that exact same pressure reg as you going by the piccies

I haven't bothered with a bike tube as I know the ratchet strap works (been there done that) but a mate at work said he has seen it done and reckons it worked a treat (can't puncture a ratchet strap tho).
We do a LOT of beach stuff for work and have often discussed what to have on board in case we roll a couple of beads on the same day as we only carry one spare.

@PeeBee Phil mate, ET does make a good very possible point about our Chev/Trol engine bay ambient heat intake possibly setting off a super heated outgoing situation. FWIW if it were me I’d go the 1.5m braided rubber tough line out for the extra $30 for peace of mind! Maybe even look at having the intake plumbed into say the cab/dash area? It does ‘suck’ when airlines ‘blow’ out there on relax time :-(

FWIW my air compressor and inlet is, like, 30 cms from the Turbo

A while back I was looking at running it from the Air Box to get cooler air but laziness won out
High temp hose for the win I reckon :-)

Thanks Guys,

I am going to take the air from the clean side of the air filter, and run the airline from the compressor in the high temp braid. I want to mount and configure the receiver first to ensure the high temp line is long enough. I ran the compressor this morning and for the first 5 minutes, with basically no back pressure on the compressor, the air was cool. but after it ran for another 16 minutes the temps rose to warm, so even not working, the compressor internals are transferring heat quite easily.

I found the scrapping of pulleys was actually the nose pulley and the hit point was the bonnet, so I swapped the 3" driven pulley to a 2" driven and all good, actually improves the compressor drive speed.

Sounds good Cheers Philstar!
Being that you great blokes are running tops Endless-Air Chev donk driven rippers would plumbing into the engine intake side of your NA Donaldson cause any flow/pressure issues mate? I can’t imagine so but unsure of ‘Endless Airs’ intake needs if any mate?

Hold my beer, let’s all plumb their air intakes into our in-cab vent system to take up crisp aircon flow ;-)

No problems. It is the preferred way by the manufacturer. Won't affect airflow in any way. I have no idea what your following post means - you win again Mark.
