Default Alternative compressor for ARB locker

My ARB compressor recently decide to die an oily painful death, and needs to be fixed or chucked.

So I'm faced with three options:

1) Buy a new one of the compressor I have (I'm running the ARB RDCKA model) for about $260
2) Get mine serviced - who does this?
3) Buy an alternative compressor that can run lockers and air up my tyres.

Does anyone here run any other compressor with their lockers? Trying to find a cheapie option. ARB do have a locker only model for $170, but it wont pump up your tyres.

Jules - I looked into the air tank thing, seemed a bit pricey to set up. Am I wrong there?



Wooders - yeah i do. Thought about the onboard air thingy & sticking another a/c compressor in there. Fair bit of work & $$s though right?

Default co2 tank

All you need is a 9kg co2 fire extinguisher, $15 dollars to refill, change the fittings on top , 20+ tire ups from 0psi , and i would imagine a heap of diff locks, can run all your airtools, and is portable.

[QUOTE=JimmyB;763188]Whats the fittings needed for extinguisher?[/QUOT}

uneed a oxygen regulator of a oxy, acet setup and then all normal air hose connections will fit, if i get a chance i will post a picture of mine, but i picked up my oxy regulator from a garage sale for about $20, lost count know how many times have aired up tyres etc and still on first fill and with the fire ext bottle there is no rental , you buy then outright and when empty take them back to fire dept or chubb to refill.
