  1. I never bothered he could have had mine We know you like modding (stickers)
  2. I noticed that as well, I thought it was Jim with a new avatar
  3. Will pick you up in my Winnebago for free if you cook breakfast both mornings on the way there Will I have to travel far to buy the food for breakfast? That's even more holiday days used! We could share the driving, I don't mind helping out
  4. Don't go mad buying stuff Graham. I have a length of 8 or 10 mm rubber that I used twice. plus some quick release cuplers and reducers. Your welcome to them mate. I am not going anywhere till Tuesday if you want to take a gander! So long as I don't have to drag my butt out of bed early:) Just a quick word of thanks to Peter. Popped round to see him earlier today and collected the above and some other bits too Thanks mate, that was really generous of you, as agreed, I owe you. I love this place
  5. Excellent guys, will certainly get along to offer moral support
  6. The one I went for is oilless and you are correct, virtually no risk of contamination.
  7. I went for 50L. It depends what you are going to use it for and whether you want the thing running full time, which will happen if you buy one with a small capacity tank (as Blocky says) and it heavily. I did quite a bit of research and concluded that noise was also a big factor factor for me as I have decent neighbours who I wouldn't want to upset. The stack 'em high sell 'em cheap stuff have high db ratings of 90db plus (some advertisers don't show the db ratings and don't even repsond when you ask the question!!) and you'd want ear defenders on if you were running that in a garage. Their are really expensive quiet brands such as Bambi that run at 49db (conversation level) but they are really intended for dental surgery applications and although they be fine for a stapler or inflating tyres they wouldn't powere a spray gun or a sander. This is because they employ fridge compressor technology In the end I went for a sensible compromise of 72db which should be ok, the reckoning by experts is that anything over 80db is unpleasant. If mine proves too noisy then I will build a soundproofed enclosure around it with a cooling fan built in. Belt driven types are quieter than direct drive versions. Thanks for the advice regarding hoses and fittings too guys
