    Also cable tie any aircon hoses or catch can hoses together so they wont rub through
    Even hoses just resting on top of one another will cause damage

    Finished the storage for beside fridge , hardwired thumper max in behind storage slide out box and wired switch to centre console .
    Have put a ball valve in between pump and inflator so I can check how pressure is going without having to turn pump off .

I thought about having it on the sloping bit of the centre console arm rest thingy, but I think it may get knocked too easily there.
    They way I saw it was you pushed the button if ever you came to a stop.
    As soon as you got going again you'd take your foot off it,,similar to a clutch

    Good to see you have the photos up the right way around, if fitting a tank
    I'd be fitting a one way valve to stop the pressure releasing back through
    the compressor, Good value those pumps, I have one pump that cost me $600 plus
    from Big Balls Off Road, not even close to my single headed Thumper

    Thanks threedogs , to be honest now I've tried it out with the ball valve on the inflator I'm impressed as to how good these pumps really are .
    May put a tank on it and a line under roof rack both sides , just open sliding window and connect short hose to supply air from compressor.
    Love they way it cuts out by itself at 150 psi and restarts at just under 100 psi , it's amazing to hear the air rush in just from the line .
    Might do some investigating to see if I can set it up like a servo , ie set to 16 psi it automatically lowers pressure , set to 40 it automatically sets to that then cuts out .
    More than happy with it and now the pumps fixed in position out of the way and hard wired so the only mucking around is the hose .
