    Hi mate,
    I bought the twin and it is awesome. I just connected the wires myself and wrapped everything up and bolted into one of those hard cases. $59 at Bunnings. Not cheap obviously but works heaps better than what I have had in the past.

    Big thumbs up for me too. Have one in the rear for tyres and one under the seat for lockers.

    I thought I'd fried mine once, but found it to be the plastic wire connector had melted. A T-shaped white plastic connector (don't know the name of them). Anyway, after a lot of swearing on the side of the road in about 35*C after coming down the Creb Track, via the ZigZag track, and going to air-up, I managed to pull it apart and crimp up new blade connectors and get it going again. There are definitely faster pumps around, but these seem pretty reliable for what they are. They aren't 100% duty cycle though and do need a cool down if you are doing more than just airing up 4 tyres or so.

    Ow the on board air setups are a billion times better than the arb compressors..
    How can one compete with some 600 psi and 400ltr/ minute..
    My brother has one and it flows that quick the valve can't handle it and the compressor sits there clicking on and off while airing up..

    But yes a lot more work involved..

    Have the least expensive one and it works a treat.
