Seems like Kilby has been bought out by "C U Offroad" I'm a bit upset as the new site is very bare bones. I was going to build up another system but you can't even click on any of their photos to see what part #s they are listing.
I am looking at ordering the fittings(# 4. *28723 Flange Fittings *$50) and the intake filter(8. *FS-07-050 *Intake Filter *$28) and I suppose just sourcing everything else from local stores such as lowes, orschlens, HD, etc.
Any info on "mini" pressure switches? I really don't want a bulky switch like whats on the side of full size 220V shop compressors.
Places like Grainger should have a decent selection of pressure switches. IMO opinion the only thing that Kilby offered that was really unique was mounting brackets. Just about everything else in the system I think can be sourced yourself cheaper.
It's this going on the 304 CJ in your sig? If so, you can get the compressor and mounting brackets from a V8 wagoneer. The rest of the pieces can be sourced from wherever you like. I got mine mostly from Amazon
For the pressure switch, I'm using a small pressure switch that screws into a manifold. No issues with it.
Yes, on an AMC V8... I already have brackets, compressor, tank, etc... as the Jeep originally had AC.
So their "Rotolock" fittings can be sourced elsewhere then! OK, I didn't know that.
Any suggestions on what brand of hose and fittings to use, I'm thinking a semi flexible line with "push to lock fittings" I know the garage kit at Orschlens was crap quality.
I don't have any pics but a friends York a/c I just removed the head, drilled and tapped the suction and discharge lines with ( I think it was a few years back ) some 1/2" pipe. Then reduced the fittings down to meet the 1/4" air line he wanted to run. It was simple and air tight.
I picked up another York style compressor a few days back that im installing on a 4bt, when I drill and tap it I will update this post.
Op did you ever drill and tap that compressor head like we talked about?
I tried on the one I wanted to put on a 4bt but the star head screws stripped. So I will swap the clutch to a older York I have.
Jason.
