Air compressor specs samitybilt

I really appreciate for your response to be honest stuff. I’m here just to try to resolve this issue.

 

I don't quite understand why you need to remove the handle and retrofit things together, seems you could leave it on and use it as the manufacture intended rather than try to reinvent the wheel here.

 

Did idea to remove the handle is to get more space that’s the only reason

 

Plus, I am running fuel hose so it can hold a high temperature in the in the Aden engine Bay Area

 

Why not just run an ARB?

 

It was too late to discover these type of a compressor, so I bought it this one. I wish I knew how pain was this an earlier

They've been out for a long time...

 

Hunt around there are Metric to Pipe thread adapter fittings to be had.

This is quite common when installing manual Gauges.

No telling if you have ruined those threads already.

Have you contacted Smitty Built on just what those threads are ??.

I have seen some companies cut special threads making the company the only source for the fitting .

Good luck!

 

This is the only one I can find on McMaster, and at $44 it is not worth it: https://www.mcmaster.com/4936K844/

Here is a compression fitting for copper tubing:

Here's a "grease" fitting that is 1/8" NPT:

If I order, do you think this is gonna work out?

 

I just bought the Halycoil thread repair kit my thread or is in a good condition I haven’t fuck it up yet. However, I did contact to the company they told me m12 x 1.25 I have bought it but it’s not feeling well. It’s kind of playing. I’m about to use the Halycoil see if I can convert to American size here’s a picture.

 

Halycoil sweat repair kit do you think this is gonna work out for my problem? What are you guys think guys?

 

Wish me luck see if I can pull off if things goes wrong then I’m not gonna lose this for sure

 

Is it too late to reinstall all of the stock parts on the compressor?

The experienced kludger in me says that this is a lot of effort for a retrofit, only to have the compressor live a short life because it was never meant for being mounted to the engine bay.

I say cut the losses, buy a compressor that's made for your purpose, put the Smitty in the trunk of the other car, or sell it.

 

Dam I love this product tho

 

Do you think it’s it’s gonna fail in the long run

 

Damn now I’m doubting

 

Best of luck.

If this is not meant to be mounted into the engine bay.

You might need to add extra cooling capacity to remove the heat from the compressor getting Hot is what shortens the life.Along with a mount to absorb the hard ride of a being mounted solid.

I have never heard any fitting every threaded to a standard thread like M12x 1.25 this is going to be interesting to see if this seals.

 

I like the Smitty brand, but that's a lot of work retrofitting a portable into a permanent install. I'd just keep the portable as a portable. My main concern, the more I think about it, is heat. The little portables get hot as hell. It sounds like you are putting it in a tight space, which will then melt any plastic thats nearby, which will be either the fuse and relay boxes or it will be a fluid reservoir. If you really need a permanent install, get a bigger unit that will both move more air and will be better at diffusing heat.
