okay, if i was to run a generic compressor to difflocks via a tank, what would be a safe pressure to activate the locks?Have seen those 100psi arb switches on ebay for $20, is that the operating pressure.

the standard range is 70psi to 110psi

Thanks, the other option i want to pursue is regulating the pressure to the locks, and running the compressor to full capacity via a storage tank.

90psi is max reconmended pressure. I have a Typhoon compressor feeding a 20l tank with a pressure switch cycling the compressor at 80 to 110psi. I have a non return to the compressor and the locker outlet is regulated to 90psi. Is alot simpler than it sounds

you can get regulators from supercheap for $12. Dunno how good they are though.
