ARB...I think I'm missing some parts

I bought the rear locker/third member from a guy on pirate but I bought the compressor kit from marlin. Having never installed these things I think I'm missing the solenoids and the locker switches. Do these come with the locker itself or the compressor kit? I'm guessing these things come with the locker kit.

I got the blue line, stress reliever spring, and compression fittings from the guy from pirate. Anything else I need. I'll be calling ARB in the morning. Here's what I got in the compressor kit:

Im looking at my compressor spec sheet and I don't see the following.
However I found the following in my ARB locker manual, 5mm Push-In Fitting part #170201 (where the air line goes into), Solenoid Valve part #180103, and the on/off locker switch part #180209.

I installed the compressor to the inside of the fender wall. Because of the curvature of the fenderwall the compressor was not sitting completely flat. To eliminate that and to help relieve vibration stress I added vibration mounts from MSD.
I just removed my compressor after a couple of years and the paint has not worn off where the vibration mount sits.
Just something to consider.

I can see the switch in your pic.

I think my solenoids came with my locker, but they are certainly not in your pic.

That's the switch for the compressor itself, I need another switch for the locker. I called up ARB this morning and they said I need the solenoid, a nipple, a push-in fitting and the locker switch. $60 total plus $25 3-day shipping since I need it soon. All those things come with the locker, they said.

Hey Mike,
I find that with the vibration mounts the compressor isn't as loud either.
Did you get the part No. off the pics. Hope so.

Mike

Shazad - I got them from Jegs. Get MSD-8800. They are like $20 for a set of 4.

Mike - I did a little recon on MSD's site and saw the differences between the ones for the 5's and 6's and the 7's and up that you have. I ended up getting one set of each though. I'll use the 7's for the compressor and the smaller ones for my CD changer I'm mounting in the armrest.

After I ordered them, I looked a bit closer at your pic and saw that they were the ones for the 7's :pat:

I bought the three different sizes and the 7's work perfect for it.
Great idea for the CD changer.

You can pick MSD products at most Automotive Performance shop. They usually have a good supply of them. Not sure if the Schucks, AutoZone type of places carry them.
