| [Wanted] Old Hitachi air Compressor (with good piston) |
|
Morning all,
Wondering if any of you may have your old genuine Hitachi air Compressor after upgrading to AMK or simply replacing for new.
Reason I ask, is I'm in desperate need of a piston and barrel in usable condition. My Compressors operation was fine electrically, but to my delight yesterday the main bearing failed in the connecting rod, making a bit of a mess in the crank case.
I'm hoping someone has a Compressor with a duff motor, or sheered off bolts of some sort that I could use for bits, or possibly if someone would be prepared to send me the barrel and piston/connecting rod only, I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks in advance
Roger

No piston though..
If I could get a aluminum con rod replacement back when mine broke I would be still running on the original compressor..

Hi thanks for your reply, I haven't found any kits that supply pistons and cylinders, unless I'm looking in the wrong place?

I think I've got a barrel and piston somewhere(!) in the garage if you're still looking for one.
If it's there you can have it for the postage & packing and a donation to H4H. I see no ships........

Thanks for your help chaps,
Ive been down the shed to finish stripping the compressor and the 17mm ally bolt in the head sheered off. So I think that the last straw, Im going to get a replacement, and go for the Dunlop I think, I haven't got deep enough pockets to go for the genuine hitachi unit, but I don't believe in buying the cheaper far eastern copies which really are a waste of money in my opinion.
Thanks to all who have helped
