Fitting sizes I used were 1/4in and 1/8in. Not sure about Home Depot. I have a rubber and gasket store down the street from me that has fittings and hoses too. I used all push lock line and fittings. Easier to take apart if I have to change something.

Here is a link to my set up and a video.

I got all my brass fittings at ACE hardware. They dont have a brass 4way so i took a 3way, drilled a hole in the one blank side and soldered in a 1/8in fitting. If soldering is not your thing there are probably brass 4ways out there.

To everyone doing this mod I would suggest adding a small LED somewhere on the dash that lights up when the compressor. I had a switch that stuck and the compressor ran for about 15 miles and i didn't know it. If it had been a 150 mile run it wouldnt have been too healthy for the compressor.

You can buy small LEDs at any of the big box auto parts stores that have a 10-12" lead already on them. Wire it to the power out side of the relay or the up side of the switch and ground. Drill a 1/8 hole in the faring and epoxy it in

You can get LED holders from radio shack if you dont want to mess with epoxy.

I use the easy mix kind. Not a pain at all. It only takes a small amount.

you can also use two T'S instead of the four way.
