"requiring an operating air pressure supply of 30 bar"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fook me, thats some pressure. I'm not sure my compressor delivers that.

I use a small bottle of compressed Nitrogen. 50£ refill and 6-8 lift on my BTCC Astra 1200 kg......and refill "air" to the tire as well.....

The Astra lift at 18 bar, so I think the VX220 lift at only 12-15 bar, so 10 lift on one bottle. A have a big bottle in my garage lifting with weldinggas hi hi.....

Thank you!

The tubing(hose) is not started, but I will take more picks as soon as I do.

I plan for insert of blocking valve and conection valve for airtank near the fuel filling cap. I will drill hole and make a flush mounting like the one in the rear light on the Astra.

I will use regular 25 bar propane hose and compress the hose to male AN (NPT) fittings.

The hose for front jack is drawn through the right doorstill alongside the heatertubing.

£5 per lift. Whilst I love it thats just a bit too much for my yorkshire wallet. If I could run it off a 10 bar airline it would be a different story.

I would just use air jacks when at track after I have broken something

[leevx2.2]

I want please can you do two sets of brackets 1set for Joe and another for me :-)

Great thread I've wanted to do this for a long time, but i think i'd take a different approach. Don't like the jack through the front floor, though not quite sure of the alternative yet. I think i'd go for a 4 jack set up rather than three. Also don't like the rear mounting much either, you'd almost certainly be able to see the hole in the sill. So i'd mount those differently too

[The Batman]

I would probably put in the inside of the chassis rails Then one at the front in battery well

[techieboy]

Wonder how many psi's of compressed air are in a can of air duster? Got plenty of them here (or at the office anyway).

[The Batman]

saying that there are alot of nitrogen bottles at my place of wrk

Bought the hose and fittings today. 100£ and 1,5 kg wight.

Testmounted on car and "lift off".

Perfeckt lift hight and balance. Under front the airjack is not vissible, and the 3 cm under doorstill dont bother mee. Its a racecar.....
