you can buy the blue arb one not sure how much it is or just measure the blue one and buy it from somewhere else if you can get it cheaper

Just go to a pneumatic fittings supplier and buy some. e.g. NeuForce in SYD.

Or just convert to 1/4" or 6mm by changing push locks on either end.

ARB comps cut out at 100psi and cycle back in at about 70psi

Mine cuts out 150psi and comes back on at 100 so I reckon a locker won't take that limd of pressure

Local bearing shop was only about $3 cheaper on some 5mm line but black doesnt cut it,You gotta have Blue :armsup:

My only problam at the moment is trying to get ARB to get me in all the right fittings for down at my diff
