Under bonet compressor

Hi Al, just wondering if there was any particular reason you made it level.
Cheers Peter

Peter, it was just a bit easier to mount it on a bracket and then fix it to the mud guard. Won't be at TB picnic but will be at Robe

Probably a good idea Al, because mine is fitted so that it is angled upwards and I notice that water sits in the part that you plug the hose fitting into. Just water splashing up from the road, but probably not good antway.
Cheers Peter

Crackles, not a good idea to use your bull bar as a volume bottle, the moisture in the air will condense and fill your bull bar with water and may cause it to rust internally, therefore weakening bull bar. Even with a volume vessel, you will need a drain on it. Just my two cents worth.

You're right John. Ideally whatever preasure vessel you choose should have a drain valve at it's lowest point to release moisture but on 3 separate cars I'm yet to get a drop of water out of any.
Don't know why but hasn't been a problem for me.
Craig............

Thanks for all your replies.

Robsoff I think mine will go there to, it looks like it will squeeze in I'll have to make a bracket to support it as well. What type of compressor is yours.

Thanks Robert.

Martyn,
Thanks for your thoughts, this compressor will be wired straight into my ignition as I have an adjustable in cabin duel presure and readout switch which I will be able to individualy inflate or deflate my rear coil-rites. I will have a look as I probly wont need to use it that often to worry about the noise.

Thanks Rob

Rob,
The noise isn't that bad actually the seat padding does a good job of silencing things, you never quite get used to the compressor starting without warning, when I'm using the locker I expect it, but I have a small air leak on the bullbar external fitting so when not using the locker it can come as a bit of a shock, a couple of times it's nearly got messy.
The vibes through the seat also serve as a cheap Thrill .................LOL use good wire, there can be a bit of voltage drop I found that out with the first compressor I fitted there, going up a size in wire made quite a difference in compressor speed.

Thanks that would be great, I just measured up for the brakets today. I'am still drawing ideas, want to use the existing bolt holes in the guard and the threaded bolt that comes out of the fire wall I don't want want the thing to break and come loose and start bouncing around.

Regards, Rob
