building a new central tire inflation system for dukw
Posted: Thu May 18, 2017 4:57 am
Hi there,
I wanted to make my dukw complete again. as stated in another topic i am missing the airpump and the hubs with the pipes/pline to the hull. the rest i have.
But after some research i am not sure if i will be happy with the old ctis. if a line comes of or some fittings are leak you will end up with an flat tire.
so i am looking around for some other possibilities.
this "hub" has 2 lines one for regulating the pressure inside the tire, and a small one to open the tire valve. So i you want to inflate or deflate the tire the little line opens the valve. When you run in to something and a line comes off you don`t have an flat tire.
Ok it looks horribly modern But i think i can camouflage that.
What do you guys think and is there someone with experience in this field?
