anyone know if you can rebuild sanden compressor, got one off a new volkswagon not pumping gas through the system, are there seal kits or anything, tried google but cant seem to find to much.
cheers julian

yes you can, but don't know where to get the parts from. try ashdowns as they were an agent from memory.

cheers bud, will suss it out. anyone know what the mods endless air do to run there compressors with out oil?

I bought a bearing and gasket kit from a company in Airport West, not 100% sure but think it is the following. If it's them they should be able to help with the spares needed.

All the info on the mods are explained here.

Do you have to use that particular one?

There are a large number of vehicles tha ran sanden compressors - sigma's magna's camira's. If you source one off these from an old clunker at a wrecking yard they are usually cheap as. So cheap that I used them straight up as an air compressor and when and if they failed I simply got another one. It was much cheaper than using an endless or fixing the existing one. All the failures that I had were due to mud in the bearings.

You only need to block the oil feed hole to make them into a great air compressor, search on the Patrol forum, there is a great thread there about it, with all the info you will ever need

Spose the same goes for here, have you searched?

Have fun,
I'm just changin' the seals on my 709 and fitting a new gauge.
