Pricing, Gathering needed items & discussing my 1st table build

[N2 Welding]

Hit a road block trying to gather parts locally for all the pipd fittings/unions.

Wanteing to use Female JIC 3/4"x16 to 3/8" Female NPT to adapt from the radiator to the compressor. I'm only able to get the JIC 3/4" x 16 to thread onto the radiator 8AN bung by about two and a half turns. I'm yhjnking that is not enough mest on those threads.

that connector has a very small tube to be using for your compressor.

I agree with Tom, I would think that would be too restrictive.

Thanks for speaking up about the size of that inner compression sleeve. I was thinking the same thing when I got home after buying all the parts. I really don’t want to unthread the fitting on the pump that the 3/8” compression fitting threads onto. I have heard those threads and fittings can brake off inside the compressor head.

My other thing is not wanting to remove the airline on the compressor until I have everything ready to go with all the replacement parts. Never know when I’m going to need air. That reminds me the JD 332 needs air in both front tires :/. I added a front weight bracket and loaded it with 240 lbs of suitcase weights. Now the tires keep going flat :/

liking the way Shop Sabre does the inverted rack on their tables.

that's what research is for, info before construction makes things go smoother. As long are info leads to plans and then into action.
