Lino, Here are some pictures and measurements of the larger compressor I got that has the base oil feed option (midland KN13060) Others that should have the bottom feed oil option are: Bendix 279356 (279356x), 227320 (227320x), 283690 (283690x), midland EL13060 (EL13060x), KN13060. It looks...

Nicely done as usual! I finally got around to looking up your signature's latin quote and be live it fits you well. "I shall either find a way or make one."

Yeah I'll draw up a model of it for you or even send the whole thing to you depending on how simple or complex the oil passage is.

After I ordered the Tu-flo 550 I realized that series didn't have the base oil option, the TU-flo 500 series has a couple though. I was able to find a Midland KN13060 for $100 off eBay (from Saturn surplus of all places). This one has the base oil option on it so the oil inlet hole is the same...

Yeah, I don't think it will have the bottom feed oil port either. Perhaps I can machine the bottom feed oil port into the compressor casting or make a spacer plate with a drilled path that can route the oil to the edge of the plate and then a tube from the plate to the compressor. I think...

-Twin cyl output is 7.4cfm @ 1250rpm -single cyl output is 7.25cfm @ 1250rpm

Well Lino, you got me pretty excited about this. I ended up buying a new Bendix Tu-Flo 550 (4 hole basemount version) off of ebay for cheap. I'll give it a go also. Its 13.2cfm and looks like the big brother to the twin cylinder compressor I had on my truck originally (7.4cfm). Fingers Crossed!

I saw rebuilt ones from Napa for $300 but there was a $150-180 core charge on top of that!

Nice job in the brakes and hitch. I'm interested in the 13cfm compressor you mentioned, is there one that fits?

Anything new on this Lino ?

I agree, this is a really nice and well thought out filter mount! I'll buy one also if I can afford it when you are ready to start selling them.

Whole thing.

sure, the bracket that mounts your dual circuit master cylinder to the truck frame rail is a specialty item... it even has an arm on it to attach a pto winch lever too. This bracket is different than the ones on the single circuit trucks. This bracket is the "key" piece to being able to copy a...

Something I always intended to do but haven't is to make a 3d model and drawing of that specialty Master cylinder bracket for these late model airforce trucks. Since you are replacing the master cylinder, it might be worth trying to model it up in CAD. If you can find a way to reproduce that...

At work our machinists about never use taps, we just thread-mill all the threaded holes on the CNC but I never looked into seeing if you can thread-mill tapered threads. Do you know if that's possible?

Very interesting Lino! I really like that Reservoir, and the sounds of your dual filter bracket. Will you be machining them manually or on a CNC? I only ask because I bet you will have lots of interest from others in buying these things from you, so make a couple if you can. I'd be interested in...
