Haven't seen one of those since the 1960',that used to be the main way people blew there car tyre's in the 50's and 60's,i remember my dad always carried one in the Morris miner the only difference there was no gauge in the air line,they worked really well to

x2 mate, I remember in the late 60's-early 70's the old man had one tucked under the seats of the series 1 landy... that was the piece of shit series 1 landy that used to brake down every second trip it went out on

Bloody hell He was lucky, got one of the reliable ones

Nah it was the old Austin with twin gearboxes and dual rear wheels before he got the series 1 that was the reliable one, reverse/reverse was the lowest forward gear for big hills but it needed someone else to hold the gearlevers in place to stop it popping out of gear at the wrong time

Wouldn't your battery go flat from winding the engine over before your tire was pumped up?
What about all the petrol that would end up in your tire?

Wouldn't be a problem as the engine could still be running (just one cylinder less)

That must have been the in thing in those days,i did the same thing to a morris 12 [ i think ] cut down to a ute in the 1960's,used to take the bloody thing all over the place

Does it concern you pumping up your tyres with an explosive gas mix?

[turoa]

i just spray start ya bastard into the tyre (push the tyre away from the wheel when the bead is off) and then light it with a gas torch. it works a treat

That's cool, interesting that it sucked back in. The icelandic guys never seemed to have that problem.

In this day and and age with small 12 volt air compressors being so cheap even for a good one ($60.00) I would tend to favour the air compressor as all you have to do with it is plug it into the cigarette lighter plug which is a lot easier than having to remove and replace a spark plug. I carry a small heavy duty one bought from Repco and have used it on a number of occasions but mainly on other peoples vehicles

I think I still have 2 of those in my garage
They were great the moter ran ok and it did not take too long ...
No substitute for on-board air but great in their time
