I'm not at my bus right now, but I have this issue. Is the solution as simple as just resoldering the connection?

Do you think my 150 psi air compressor is strong enough? I can't imagine an impact driver would be too expensive, and seems like a handy thing to have around. I've got a breaker bar and can find some...

I thought about this, just using a different tank. So long as it fits in the space, I can do it, right?

Could I just scrap the big steel cage after I take it off, and strap a tank straight to the...

Looks something like an oil filter?

Oh dear. I only run it for about 10 minutes each Sunday! I guess I need to start driving it around instead.

I'll give what you suggested a shot and see if it improves. Thanks!

Thaks, cadillackid. I'm excited about it for sure!

Things calmed down a little, and I have some more time to do a more thorough job on the conversion. Which is good, because it's got a lot more rust than I was hoping for. It was a Northern rust-belt...
