I got Jerry's buddy the next day. Havent had any more since.

Before I headed out of town this week, my york compressor got here. I got back home last night and my seat covers made it. Got to work a little in the garage and got the bracket fabbed up. Im going to order a turnbuckle for the bottom to tension it. Gotta go find a belt now.

subscribed! Getting in late, I have a lot to catch up on.

Got a little time in the garage today and finished up the EDC bracket.



Here is how it is adjusted with the turnbuckle on the bottom of it.

What are you I singing for a pressure switch for the edc? I used a square d with an unloaded. Keeps the pressure of the head for easy start up on the compressor works flawless and adjustable

I dont have the pressure switch or a check valve yet. Do you have a part number for the one you have? looks like square D has several. I have the coalescing filter that kilby used to sell with the oil return kit but I havent decided where to mount them yet.

I'm pretty sure this is the one.9013FHG-42J59M1X

Has an on off lever right on it. I have mine tightened up to around 250 psi. I didn't use an oil return kit on mine. Just put a water trap about 2ft behind in a location easy to drain it really doesn't push much oil through. Usually drained the trap every couple weeks and I drove this daily while always playing with the air. As for the head I used a breather filter on suction and for pressure I tapped the inside of the fitting on the headwith a 1/2 or 3/8 NPt. Couldn't find the right fitting for the outside threads. I did that while the compressor was running so no shavings would go in. Here us a pic it's not mine but I copied this one for my install. Gm fullsize has a great thread on the exact install

I got the old vinyl stripped off the back seat today and was going get it recovered. I got the seat cover put and it doesnt look to be even close to fitting. UGH!!!

Looks like thats a cover for the shorter backseat....

[zellway]

I know how big of a pain it can be to get parts that don't work. But the colors are going to be great when they get you the full size one! Keep up the good work!

[blfuller123]

Yea, I guess I misinterpreted Tim's response when I was asking about these....Im not real happy. Guess I need to chalk it up to a lesson learned. So now I can try and find a blazer seat or have another seat cover made.

One good thing, it only took me three trips to the autoparts store to get the right serpentine belt for the EDC.

[BB72CHEVKT]

Don't you have a full size second seat? That looks like it is for the 3/4 second seat.

[blfuller123]

I may have a lead on a complete blazer...maybe I can pick that up. If it happens, I will rob the seat from it and have a project to start after this one is done.

Vary cool idea! It took some work for me to find my 3rd row seat for my suburban. (still not done) I passed up a blazer just so I didn't feel bad about jacking the seat. I lucked out on a buddy turning his burb into a 4 door.

If it doesnt pan out, I may bite the bullet and have another cover made...Just hate the thought of having this cover and not beig able to use it, and I doubt I could sell just this one cover.

Anyone know the width of the 3rd row or blazer seat is?

Here is my finished up engine drive compressor. I need to get a leader hose made up for it, I will get the shop that made up my hydroboost hoses to do it.

[zellway]

When I get home I can check how wide mine is. I bet if you wanted to try and trade someone that wide seat for a smaller 2nd seat you might have luck with that. Never hurts to ask around. I know If I didn't have my seats all done I would have jumped at the wider seat.

[lowlife4life]

Did you find some fittings for the top of the 210. Ya figure what your gonna do for a switch and water trap?

Yes, the york compressors came on a lot of vehicles. I got the drawing from the March website I think.

No, Ill get the local shop make me a fitting with a leader hose. Thats about as far as ive gotten with it.

I was reading on the Kilby website that an unloader is not needed. Seems that I am finding as many people using them as are not...

[blfuller123]

Still kinda butt hurt about the seat covers, not wanting to buy another cover right now, i decided to cut down one of the old bench seats i have and see what it looked like. The worst I would be out would be an old seat frame.

Got it cut down, welded up, the foam cut and the cover put on. I pushed it to the one side so it would be like having access to get to the back. Im not sure if I like the 3/4 seat in the second row. Anyway, here is how it looks.

[duallyjams]

The pattern is a great match.

[Number98]

I think it looks pretty good, you were busy chopping down the seat and foam and throwing that cover on!

That would of taken most of us a weekend to get it done... hmm, maybe I am taking too many beer breaks....

[Hart_Rod]

Worst case, you can put it in the back as the third row seat.

I have no room for a third seat. Its starting to grow on me and my wife said she likes it so I guess it will stay for now.
