AirBoy Brake Bleeder Group Buy

[KDF]

Hi all,

just wondering if someone here is up for buying one of those AirBoy suction brake bleeders Carl was mentioning last weekend at the brake clinic?

I have found a supplier who has three on the shelf and I myself are keen for one at $69+ph so maybe a group by can secure a discount or at least split the shipping?
Just putting it out there, I am going to pull the trigger next week, so let me know,please?

quick search on google, depending on postage $69 is a good price.

might be interested - but could just become another 'toy' that doesn't get much use...

Hi Rich,

well, I look at it this way: If you use it twice instead of having someone doing it for you - you probably have your money back (considering you have to buy brake fluid,as well and already have a compressor).
If you go to Phil you probably don't even get a "good day" and coffe for that ;-)

I'll grab one, was just about to buy one off ebay for the same price.

Let me know how you go.

I've been using the 'pressure bleeding' as opposed to vacuum bleeding for the last 10 years on my race car and never had any issue, the advantage is that you don't need an air compressor, just pump it up yourself.

Hi all,

ok, I just commited to buying the three. We can work things out later I guess.
Shipping is $30 so $10 each = I am happy to let go of the other two for $79 ea. Pick up in Bayswater or Knoxfield or could bring to Eastern Creek for the Reunion thingy, next tech clinic or drop off at Clyde's if he is cool with that....

I use a bike pump to slightly pressurise the reserviour through to overflow connection. Crack the bleed nipple. Repeat.

Hi Paul,

she'll be right. Cash on pick up should work just fine. I'll chime in as soon as I have them in my hot little hands....;-)

Hi all,

ok-items have arrived.

Cardboard boxes look a little shop soiled but items inside are brand new looking.
Only downside I didn't consider is that there are no fittings on them to connect up an air hose.

Since there are many styles out there, I suppose it makes sense:
Nitto, Ryco & Jamec Air Fittings are kind of common.

I will get Nitto, but have some older styles in the shed if someone wants theirs fitted up ready to go, let me know and I try to accommodate...



Also have several lenghts of blue air hose if someone wants only a couple of meters with the AirBoy to avoid unreeling a full roll everytime you want to use it....

Merchandise arrived

I'll grab one, was just about to buy one off ebay for the same price.

Let me know how you go.

Hey Paul,

got your stuff. Let me know when you want to swing past and if you need a Nitto fitting to connect to your compressor, please?

[Paul W]

Hi Marty,

Sent you a PM.

Cheers

Keep us posted how you go with the gadget and the new calipers....
