Aye mate! been giveing it some thought today, thinking if i obtained some more air rams and seated em up in the floor pan (mean some cutting and perhaps a little loss of foot room) i might be able to use the step set up i have and be able to make it rise and lower, trying to remember who it was i bought the first ram off, began with "W" as i remember, it wernt Webbo tho, he sent me the air fittings and 5 port, see what i can work out, as i say it was just going through my mind to lay it up or get rid all together,
apprecieate your offer to buy the bits tho Andy, it may come to that if i cant work out summat for the step, as ya say pity! i've just got it to the stage/look i wanted after nion 4 years of owning it, getting shot of it will def be the last resort tho, should that happen you will have the first dibs (shotgun) on it mate,
do ya think we pi$$ed of pops? certainly did'nt mean to! aggree with Sancho tho, a newbi would have recieved some stick and how many threads on this section go in all bl00dy directions? especially when the useual suspects get going, dont bother me, it's why this forum is the best, $hit if ya cant have a laugh ya might as well pack it in

Thanks once again Dave, very hesitant in asking you as ya never accept any payment and i tend to feel i'm takeing the pi$$, however i will send summat should you have any bits i need, there's absolutly no rush mate as i've only just got the idea so i need to do some drawings, measurements etc to see if it'll work, main thing is to measure the ram travel i'll req, i'll get back to you when i know more and you have a good holiday, sounds very nice especially after the rubbish weather here,Originally posted by Webbo View PostIan give me a shout on the bits you need I'll see what I've got I know I have some cylinders. I'll help out if I can. I'm of to sunny climes the weekend for two weeks but I still have time to get them to you. Valentines pressi for the wife
just thought of one question tho, will one 5 port valve opperate 3-4 rams?
the lowering rams will need to all work at the same time if you know what i mean, thinking 3-4 rams for stability as i wont really be able to fit channels for the step to slide down in so the ram arms will be the only things attached to the step, i'll do some drawing meanwhile and thanks again, all the best, ianToo young to die and too old to give a toss

Hi Ian, Yes the valve will operate multiple rams, What you will probably need is flow control valves on each one so that they will operate at the same time/motion,or one large ram with guides, just let me know when you have come up with an idea and I will see how I can help............and dont be darft I have always said if I can help anybody I will.
Cant wait till my hol been working month now without a break just gunna put my feet up and enjoy.............
