utt61 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Does anyone know where I can get a tyre inflation air line for use with an on-board tyre inflation system of the type fitted to Scammells etc? Either a complete one, or the fittings to make one up. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 gritineye Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Ring round the dealers, there where a lot of very nice heavy duty NOS Mitchelin ones at Beltring last year around £15-30 each, and stillages of them at Whithams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mk3iain Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I have used the standard push on tyre inflator as per CES and available from some dealers and then came accross an ex. mod Shrader inflator complete with guage and clip on valve fitting. This is by far the best inflator I have come accross including the normal garage type. It clips on and you have ablout 2m hose before the guage/control. Easy to use and I think safer as you can stand off to the side of the tyre and control with a guage in your hand. The more common type you have to hold on the valve and have a assistant operate the inflator valve! Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On left the newer and I think better type for use, on right the older type, more in keeping for older vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 gritineye Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Yep the one on the left is the type I meant, I thought mine has Michelin on it, they give an unrestricted full flow of air and inflate big tyres quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there I just had a look at mine and the guage has written on it; "Shrader" and underneath it says "Licence Michelin made in France" So maybe they both make them or are Shrader part of Michelin... Thing is, I agree they are the one to have. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Stone Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I have one of the ones on the right, do take care buying NOS ones as the rubber was starting to perish on ours. The Bedford came with a bodged up one that had the inflation 'handle' end cut off and a fitting attached to pump Clark masts up with, lazy squaddies! :-D Stone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
