Vacuum locker

Post by unmass »

Hi guys I was wondering if anyone has any advice on patrol vacuum locker.

Can they be converted to run air from compressor?
How do they break?
How can they be strengthened?
Can anyone post Pics of solenoid protectors
Also has anyone used them in comp trucks?
Do they handle sticky tyres and big tyres?

Regards
Mitch

So what actually wears out should I check a few things before I put it into my truck?

I am getting it from a gu patrol for very cheap so I am still going to air lock it this just gives me the benefit of having a cheap locker for now. I can spend the other money on the twin case adapter I have.
