Mounting of Valves for airbags

Afternoon Mozza.

I have polyairs and the valves were mounted up under the rear bar.

All I have to do is look underneath and there they are up out of harms way and away from the eyes of 'curious onlookers/vandals' etc etc.

Very easy to access when you know where to look.

The 4WD shop that fitted the setup, put them there for that reason without any input from me and to date I have had no inclination/reason to shift them anywhere else.

So there is a suggestion or 3 for you.

As a matter of fact I recently had an airline extended from the air tank to the rear and the fitters utilsed the same mount for the same reasons as above.

Mainly out of harms way, or as far as reasonably possible/allowable.

On my website there is a pick of my valves mounted just under the small rear barn door - they clear nicely on the Jack - I hate bending and scrabbling around for things ! Go through into the Jack section.....

I mounted mine to the rear bumper like this:

Rear Bumper

On my GU, I mounted them each end of the aluminium step, same place I had them on the old Mav. Easy to get to but recessed away from possible damage.
On the original install on the Mav, the fitters put the bl00dy things out proud on the rear bumpers, ready to get bashed off. Some people never think...

Hi Mozza

I mounted mine inside the vehicle on the draw system. Click on my rig pic and check out the draw system. If you look carefully, you can see the valves are mounted on the LHS panel near the pressure gauge and compressor switch. I prefer the idea having them inside the vehicle, that way no-one can "accidiently" adjust them.

Mine are mounted immediately behind the mud flap on each side - they are protected there & are easily accessed.

Hi Mozza,

Al mounted ours behind the fuel filler cover, this is convenient for Al as he is 6ft6" and he is "too lazy" to bend down to check his pressures, they also don't get covered in "crap", no one knows they're there, they're not unslightly. He went through one of the original grometts in the body and came out beside the fuel fillers.

If you'd like a pic, let us know.

cheers
