I really can't think of any real tips or advice about the conversion. It's
really pretty streight forward. Probably the hardest part will be getting
the storage tank welded to the rear bumper. The only other question, is
do you go with the electric comperssor or the Vac. one. I'd suggest the
electric. Then you have one other decision, do you install a relay or
wire it streight up like Terry suggests? I prefer the relay. That way
the compressor is only energized when the ign. is in the on posiiton.
You install a "on/off" switch just like in the instructions, but have it
fire the relay if you need to pump up the doors before you get into the
car.
Once you do the conversion, you'll wonder how you ever lived with the
hydrolic doors.
>(vapor leak, water getting in behind the firewall, ect.)
Don't quite understand vapor leak, unless you mean vapor lock.
Neither of these seems as pressing as the door problem. I think I'd
do the conversion, and then work on the other problems.
