i saw we try to donate something and get a FSB sticker on it

 

[Foghorn]

Count me in...I'll donate 10.00bucks towards the purchase of one of the listed items.... Wonder if we can come up with a york compressor and get'em OBA for the rig??? Sounds like a cool project for the club....fog

 

[Davids78Bronco]

I might have a York to donate, if Chris is willing to donate one of his York kits

edit - the york I have, needs the pair of fittings, like this one - http://www.onboardair.com/images/44760.jpg

If someone wants to buy those fittings, I can send my york





Unless they're looking for one of those ready-air compressors

 

[Davids78Bronco]

i have lots of crap laying around, but i have no idea what they could use of it.

 

[Foghorn]

I won't be back online until monday so don't think I'm backing out if I don't respond, I'd like to be in on this. I think it'd be good for the club. If need be I'll help with shipping a used part or purchasing the fittings, or whatever you all decide our donation is going to be......OBA was just a suggestion. Just let me know where to send it in...Fog

 

[Davids78Bronco]

I've emailed Chris about donating one of his kits for this, and I'll be trying to call Brian for the next 30 minutes, or I'll be emailing him, for a shipping address

 

[dsotmoon]

thanks david for pointing this thread out, you guys have a good jump on it so see what you can get together to donate and I'll send them 2 of the 5" round FSB stickers for it, maybe we could also donate 10.00 or so out of the FSB balance ? ? ?

 

[Davids78Bronco]

As soon as I get word from Brian @ redbird, and Chris @ broncoair, we can decide what to do for them

 

[muddinmike]

So what's the cause of this? whos the donated trail rig going to? :shrug

 

[Davids78Bronco]

I couldn't find any info on their site about it, so I'm waiting for an email from Brian, or I'll be trying to call him again tomorrow, or Monday

 

[Davids78Bronco]

So what's the cause of this? whos the donated trail rig going to? :shrug

i beileve it its going to be a trail maintenece/park patrol vehicle for the new area that has opened up in indiana this past summer.
would be cool to have a few FSB stickers on it for all the parks visitors to see.

SO, let's see if we can get this rolling for them... getting them OBA, that is. I've got the compressor, if someone else can get the following:

fittings in the link I posted, oil/water separator/regulator, 20-25ft of 3/8" air hose, 3gl air tank, pressure switch, and the Broncoair OBA kit

I'll be sending the compressor in the next few days.

SO let's get this goin - who's going to contribute what?

 

[Blaze]

Where can I get those fittings and what do I call them???:shrug

 

[Davids78Bronco]

ill see what i can do to get theman airtank since i am so close for shipping reasons.
a used semi tank should be more than adequite if i wirehweel any rust and paint it up shouldnt it?

has broncoair agreed to hopefully send them his kit, as thats the most expensive part.....

 

[Davids78Bronco]

http://www.onboardair.com/accessories.htm Third item down - Rotolock & Tube-O fittings

And if someone's willing to get the hose, I was thinking they would do well with one like this one

Not a bad deal for 20 bucks

 

[HWY TO HELL]

can i put a $5 in and envelope and send it? or does that not work?

 

[Davids78Bronco]

I'm sure every little bit will help. Just be sure to note where you read about it, and what it's for

 

[HWY TO HELL]

ok when payday comes (next fri) ill send 5 or 10 that way

 

[Davids78Bronco]

No one else wants to contribute?

Compressor is going out today
