Hey guys....
wondering if anyone knows of or how to find the specs for the SLS compressor... did the coil swap and figure to see if a simple wire harness could build that compressor for use as an airing tool. Would re locate it to the engine bay where my bottle jack used to live, and convert the fittings for output to match an air line to reach the tires.
I want to see if the sit output would be suitable for that duty.

Without a tank it want work. With a tank it can be done, the P38 guys do it all the time

I see out there compressors with no tank though, just on when needed and switched off when not in use... thinking of setting it up like that, as I'm not looking to run tools, just have a way for airing up flats or after trailing.

I know people that run ARB compressors for stuff like that (but most of them have tanks in conjunction with it). If you're just looking to air up tires/flats, I'd just get one of the ones that plug into a 12v outlet. They're relatively cheap, fairly reliable and real easy to replace in the event it breaks.

I guess in theory you could but I would call Marty at (270)576-7922 ask him to pull you a air tank off a P38 and mail it to you. Plumb it in and then you will have enough air to run tools and air up tires in under 2 hours. hahaha

Do the P38's have air tanks with the compressors? The D2's just have the compressor which feeds the airbags through valves and plumbing.
I was looking and seeing plenty of emergency tire inflators, etc on harbor freight and the like that are just a direct feed like what I'm talking about doing...

Overall that's kinda why I wanted to find the specs on the darned things... there's several high capacity compressors which put out over 100-150+psi that would be a simple hard-wire into a 12v tap & fuse... that are right about $25-50. Want to weight the costs of having to 'convert' it with the fittings and getting the hose/accessories to reach the tires and keep it cost effective.
