does anyone know the EXACT name of a valve compressor suitable for the F7P lump or does anyone have a picture of one for me to look at, even better could someone link me to one that i can buy that they are 100% certain will work? even better still has anyone got one i could borrow that i can sort them some £££ for hire but i need it very urgently!
