[QUOTE="Shovelhands, post: 5105524, member: 37424"] I’ve been thinking about this for a long time, but never done anything about it... Project A may have to be my test platform for a home made system! :D Some of the systems I’ve seen on terragators, have a 1/2 or 3/4 fitting welded in the rim, totally separate from the inflation valve. With a simple 1/4 turn lever ball valve on it. This gets the air in and out fast! This is then connected via a short hose to the rotary coupling. In the event of a hose getting ripped of, you would simply have have to shut the ball valve and inflate the tyre as normal through the original valve, with an airline, until a fix was made to the CTI hose. Also I’m sure these CTI hoses are disconnected when traveling on the road in between jobs, this saves things getting caught in hedges, and unnecessary wear and tear on the rotary coupling. A large air tank, dedicated to the CTI system is what I have in mind, and simple control system , analogue gauges in the cab for each wheel to keep an eye on things. I many have to start putting some real thought into this?..... [/QUOTE]
