Someone make a damn York mount already! Kilby's website isn't responding and the last time I called there wasn't anyone at home. No response from email either.

Someone, produce a kit gosh darn it! And sell it for some kind of sane price. :doah:


:waytogo:

I'll take a serpentine mount, to replace my AC pump. :D Doesn't look hard. I'll have to attempt it myself soon if no one can make me one. SweetK30 sent me some specs too.

I know Suicidedoors.com used to carry the brackets for the York 209 but I believe it worked on the 210 as well. I tried looking on there and a few other sites I used to visit when I was building minis but came up empty, almost like they never existed :dunno:.

You may be better off just building your own, like you said it doesn't appear to be that difficult and I'm sure you have the skills to get it done. :waytogo:

for non serp belt if I recall.

I still have the mount and a hand drawn up template. :whistle:

and yes kilby went from 50 bucks a few years back to 150 bucks for the same dam thing . this is what pissed off a lot of people for this item .
 
I read that the York mounts in the TBI bracket where the smog pump would be pretty easy, if you don't need it (the pump) of course
 
What are people doing for the serp pulley on the York? I wanna put OBA in the trail rig someday. 89 k5 with an A/C compressor delete pulley right now

Some time back Kilby-the-person sold out to someone else, so today's Kilby Enterprises is somebody entirely different and even more Jeep-centric.

That should say it all right there :doah:

I bought my York and clutch/pulley from a rebuilder on eBay. They have just the pulley/clutch too.
 
I got my bracket from Muddytaz, I use a v-belt though.

FWIW, if I had to do it again, I'd go with a Co2 tank set up and just get them refilled when needed. It's not expensive to refill and last a good bit of time. Also, no additional plumbing/wiring to do or find space for. Cost for cost, all said and done, it works out about the same.

Other option, your stock compressor can be modded to pump air. From what I understand, it pumps quite a bit more air too. Research that a bit and see what comes up.
 
I spent right around $100 for my york setup. Don't have to worry if its filled. And don't have to worry airing up 16 37+ tires.

I have a serp belt. Made a bracket and found a v belt pulley a simular size and welded it to my alternator serp pulley. Works great
 
Well, out of all the vendors, I'm shocked no one else makes them. Not even an ebay seller making them out of his garage. How hard would it be for ORD, Ruffstuff, or Kert to whip up a run of them. It's worth $100 to me NOT to make one. Especially now that it's triple digit temps.

I've searched all over around here and EVERYONE wants $23 to fill a 10lb tank.

This was a couple years ago, but a local fire extinguisher shop said $10 for non-food grade Co2. Not bad for a tank that would last me a year of tire refills.

Don't get me wrong, I like my York. I'll like it more when I have it completed with a tank and stuff. But it's just one more thing to maintain. :rolleyes:

I have heard of people doing this, I think the main thing you have to do is plug up oil passages to keep the compressor lubricated and prevent it from blowing oil into your compressed air tank.

I've been taking mine to a fire extinguiser shop to have mine filled.

I have OBA as well but I also have my power tank which is good for use around the house rather than dragging air hose all over the place (if it will even reach).

I can see having compressed air in some places as handy, but I don't know that I need it EVERYWHERE in the house. Maybe Scott has kinkier habits than many of us :dunno: :haha:

(I actually just bought a cordless inflator for light use because it's easier, as Scott points out, than running a full-size air compressor which in my case is the truck :doah: )

Sorry Aaron, I won't take any of YOUR habits away from you. Sometimes it is needed to have air in the backyard when building a fence or other projects that require use of a nail gun. Did I mention that my new place is just over 1/4 acre?

You said "around the house", not "around the yard."

Props on the big property though. It's a maintenance nightmare, I remember from my mom's place (like 3/4 acre counting the donkey/goat pasture) but so much nicer than having your neighbors an arm's length away.

No offense to you guys at all, but talking about how 1/4 acre is big blows my mind. We've got three acres and that's pretty small around here. Sorry for the highjack!
