WANTED - AIR COMPRESSOR FOR AIR LOCKER

[Timmy511]

im looking for a 12v air compressor to run my locker, does anyone have one? Thanks, Tim.

the cheapest option is a small 12v one off trademe(currently $12.99!!!) it will provide ample air to switch on the locker. Alternatively, spend $200 , and have a compressor that is capable of providing on board air(generally ok for blowing your own tires up, if not everyone elses.) The ARB branded ones that are designed solely for actuating lockers are much more compact , but are relatively expensive(and also now made in China too), and offer no flexibility. Sure, it takes a little bit of work to adapt a tyre inflating compressor to work as a locker actuator, but it is pretty straight forward stuff.
Experienced air locker guys jump in here....

If you go with a option above you'll need a pressure switch and make something to put your locker solenoids into
From memory I paid $250ish for the small arb compressor that only does lockers,comes with a nice wiring harness
But cheap and easy enough to buy like a supercheap compressor and hard wire it in
