Re: pic: New pneumatic manifold
I'm not sure I'd pay $30 to save a couple of ounces, but this is a good concept for its simplicity. However, I'd recommend that rather than coming out the side, the pneumatic regulators (etc) run along the length of the compressor -- this aides in compactness.
Also, I'm not sure I like the relieve valve right on the compressor since we tend to put the compressor itself in places that aren't easily accessed without tools. I've seen other teams do the same.
None of the compressors from 2006-2009 had their output ports oriented like that, and iirc it was illegal to tinker with the compressor to turn the ports.
