    Hye guys....


    For Biggo .... Tyre size is 195 50 15....

    I won't be running that size, just useing an old tyre I had to experiment....

    Gunna make my own baby elephant (bead blaster)

    Bought a compressor from supercheap on the way home.
    Bonus it came with 20m worth of air hose too. ( can never have too much hose :2thumbs: )

    Gunna pick up the valve and unions tommorow...

    Hopfully total cost will be about $150....
    Think to buy a proper one is like 450. Seen them on Ebay in the states for 700!!!!!!!!

    I keep you informed on how I go....

    Hey fellas...


    Baby elephant is built and works jsut as it should...

    total cost is as follows..


    Air compressor from supercheap... $99
    Also came with another 20m of air hose witch was an added bonus.
    inch and a half ball valve and 2 connections.. purched from Tony powell hose suplies $51

    I still have to get a small valve so as once the tank is full I can remove the air line,
    but I'm guessing it'll only cost a few bucks. Ten at most $10
    TOTAL : $161

    So there you have it... For a few hours of running around and a bit of welding I have a nice little pet elephant that only cost me $161 ... Too easy.
