that'll be the thing for me.......but I'll get 2, and then a 2 way to split to both

but, I'm going to hold out a little more and see if I can find something bigger......

I want to have an air control panel to keep from straining myself just to adjust the air, and the plastic seems to be for temporary use only!

Thanks for the link!

I actually got an 8 port chrome manifold from Kensfish at a show in November for $9, though I don't see it on his website.  Maybe give him a call.  It is made by Sunlight Supply & seems to be the largest they make.  It's very easy to adjust the individual ports but there is no bracket to mount it.

You could also purchase the individual brass valves & use PVC as the header pipe.
