You need to make a sprung lever system under the car but I was told the disc brake conversion didn't work with dash handbrake.

Was giving 3 psi problem was the float while car was running no real problems but while cranking over the new pump was filling the reservoir and not being bunt off by the engine as it filled Fitted a new float and all seems okay

Webber 32/36 DGAV was thinking it’s now a float problem. But will test pressure to see if it’s too high or not. It’s on a pinto 2.0, in fact it came from Pete he had it on Swampy.

Have two compressors one an 18cfm output with a free air delivery of 14cfm the other not to sure about but around 10 cfm both feeding in to a 100lt tank via one way valves.
-
I got one of these but you need a good compressor for it and it makes a right old mess of the garage but combined with the angle grinder and wire brushes above I did the whole car I got it mainly to do the roof of my estate but found it slow going and gave up, finishing up doing it with sanding disc..... in one foot sections over a few days and just taking my time over it... These sand blasters are ideal for small jobs like a door panels or smaller area, they are better than a professional as not so intense and don't do as much damage as a pro's high pressure set up. I sent my bonnet of to a pro blaster, it all looked fine till painted where you can now see damage the blasting has done. One bad point I found was the thick black pipe was constantly bursting a few inches from the jubilee clip where the sand constantly rubbing the rubber away and in the end ate it's way though from the inside out....
-
Sorry but can't sell I got mine from Danish I've had to make mine electric as I have bought quite a few rubber pumps only to find they are rotten as and when I do get hold of a good pump I will be converting back to the foot pump so will need it. Like a lot of folk I chucked mine away when I renewed the piping not realising it had the balls inside.... Took years to get hold of this one
-
I think so also you will I think need a one way valve on the D then they should work as the balls in the tee The one in the S of the tee stops water returning to the water bottle The one in the D of the tee stops it from returning from the jets And water is free to run both ways in the P exit of the tee
