Here is the top of the door where the piston is mounted. None of the pistons are connected, I think I am going to try to get the system working.

I think that compressor has to be replaced.

I will keep you posted on this project....

Doug,

While there are a number of 120 v compressors a 12v with the right amount of tankage might take some search time to be sure to get adequate volume.

Now you can ger realair horns.

This could be a blast!
