Under hood on board air for $80
 
A while back I bought a cheap MV-50 12 volt air compressor at O'Rilley's for $50 and have been waiting to get a bracket to mount it next to the brake booster. Last week I saw that Sinister Fab Works had a bracket on sale for $25 so I jumped on it. I have used the compressor several times and it works great. I can get all 4 tires from 10 to 30 pounds in a little over 10 minutes. It will be even better now that I always have it with me. I'm leaving the hose connected and have it secured under the hood.

I may get a tank later for quickly inflating toys at the lake and possibly short bursts of air tool use, but I have other things higher on the list right now.

Looks like exactly what I am setting up this weekend :wink:

Did you remove the rubber feet from the compressor and just hard mount it to the mounting plate?

Great stuff...looks great!

I did the same about a year ago with a slime compressor. Used a hose clamp and Mounted it to the cage in the rear and ran the wires and hard wired to my optima yellow top. Works like a charm and airs in around 10min! Think It cost me about $60. Sweet mod!

Yes, I took off the rubber feet and put rubber grommets in the holes on the compressor.
I also had to flip the rear bracket that the feet are mounted to so it would fit on the Sinister Fab bracket. And I definitely recommend that you mount the compressor to the bracket, then mount the the whole thing in at once. I initially tried to mount the bracket then compressor and had to backtrack.

Good luck!

Looks good. Did you use the viair or the ARB bracket?

It's the longer one that can be found here http://www.sinisterfabworks.com/shop/item.aspx?itemid=4

Thanks. For that price I may have to give this a shot. Do you just connect the clips when you want to use it and tie them out of the way the rest of the time?

For that price, I ordered one to use with my slime compressor....can't hurt to try
