Lewis Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Try Trailer Spares (dont know the web address) or pop in to your local HGV mechanics, they should be able to help you out - my mate got one for his Air horn from his work (truck mechanic) Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the ARB switches, they are prone to failure. I have changed to manual operated pneumatic valves and would never go back to solenoid operated valves. I use SMC 2 position, 3 way, valves, but there are many other manufacturers. Fit the valve where you would fit the switch for a solenoid valve, and run pneumatic tubing instead of electrical wiring.

simonr Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 There's something more satisfying about a manual pneumatic valve too! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
