Snorbitz Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I'm just in the process of fitting an Air Up/Down retract system and will at some stage need to pump up the system....i was just wondering if anyone had ever made an electric air pump system using say a car tyre inflator as apposed to a standard hand pump?.

Stephen Grigg Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 One guy at our fielfd uses one and he is able to put the correct pressure in from its built in pressure guage.He just uses a couple of clips attached to the original cigarette lighter plug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
