FRL family BIT 1/4 0-30 PSI valve

1 x V07-200-NNAA (RELIEF VALVE) $20.65

And from Home Depot:
1 A-710 PB109 Square head plug 1/8" $1.07 ea

Part of my "Open Source" Mod support... Many choose not too...By the time you add in the hose, Fabricate a bracket, source all the parts, etc. it's not that much of a premium for me to build one....But a lot of people get a lot of satisfaction out of doing their own.....Part of why I took that approach to begin with.....

I normally outsource but in this case I'm looking to gain the sense of satisfaction that comes from DIY. Of course I'm using Steve's knowledge base (pics, posts, etc.) to help out.

Just get some heavy duty black hose from Autozone or Murrays and then see how it works before getting the hosetechniques stuff. You may just like the black, since your TT is black.

Nice job.

Feels good to do it yourself.
