Another paddle shifting question

[Milo902]

Looking into a paddle shifting system for my team. I have been searching the forums and came up with lots of good info. But where do i actually find the parts needed to build a pneumatic system? I may be an idiot but I cant seem to find the solenoids, actuators, regulators ect. Any help?

We use Clippard bits with an MPS regulator, but there is another system that can be had complete with a steering wheel - Cal Poly Pomona uses it quite successfully if I remember right. Google Clippard pneumatics or MPS racing and it's sure to come up.

Paradigm motorsports has some good stuff. I know quite a few teams that have used their kits before and worked out well.

that would be the system Cal Poly Pomona uses.

I've heard mixed reviews of the paradigm stuff. I've been working on one for our team and decided I wanted to do it from scratch. Pretty much everything you need can be got through Parker's pneumatic division. I would start there. They're a big company, so I would start with the local rep in your area, that's where I got most of my help.

The Solenoid, cylinder, valve is the easy part, I had to get somewhat creative on the regulator and reservoir.
