Compressed air at the creek

[Leezx10r]

When I was at the creek on Saturday, there were one or two people changing tyres from slicks to wets.
That's no big deal but I had never noticed there were compressed air fittings in every pit.
Question is: does anyone has the fittings information / specifications required to use their air to a normal flex air line?
Cheers
Lee

Not sure of the fitting, but I've also been tempted to find out and utilise it.

[Leezx10r]

If no one has the dimensions, will take some tools down and measure and get some fitting sorted

why did I not know this!

I was thinking of lugging my compressor out with me next weekend to save $$$ if it rains

[Mr.Ed]

I knew of their existence but does that mean they're on during a practice/track day?

stevem sent me a message about this:

I am having trouble posting on tarmac talk. This is the fitting needed at the creek.Available at Blackwoods , from memory it's series 340 .the threaded end takes a female nito

Is it me, or does that look like a male nitto?

I'm fairly sure they are always on. It's the same air supply that Madaz uses.

Looks like a male to me. Any info on OD & pitch or even part# from blackwoods Marshy?

[Mr.Ed]

That is pretty cool then. It can be all kinds of handy.

They're not Madaz any more, but I was told the MEGA workshop apparently does use that air supply. I will have to check next time I'm working.

[CLIFFY]

MEGA does use that line

[Leezx10r]

Well looks like all we need to do is sort the fittings out, and will have CA lines in our pits :)

So SteveM still can't post for some reason, but I'm getting more updates from him. Check this out:

Pretty sure its a Ryco style fitting. In Marshy's pic above the silver male fitting is a Nitto style (Hi-Cupla series or Hi Cupla 200: http://www.nitto-australia.com.au/products.php?catID=62&parID=19_24&catSrc=products). The bronze male fitting looks like a Ryco 500 series...or maybe a 300?

Anyway, charge around here for some options:

EDIT: So best guess is that the bronze one is a Ryco 300 series.

Will anyone out on the 14th have the airline coupling?

I can't remember if I changed my gearing back from WP and might have to do it on Sunday

[Marshy]

I will have my electric rattle gun. Uber-powerful.

Each garage seems to have different fittings left behind by various people. The base building fitting is a female 3/4 BSP (British standard pipe ) so if you get a male 3/4 BSP and reduce it down to whatever you need you'll be able to use it in any of the garages. I hope this helps

That's great info, going to get myself a few fittings :)
