Just installed arb compressor under the bonnet, was a bit tricky to mount but managed to make a bracket up on the drivers side. My next option was in behind the bulbar or under the passengers seat like ive seen done before!

Pardon my ignorance, but is that grey tubular thing the compressor or am I looking at the wrong thing? Mine looks a little different.

It's the same as what I have.
If you look at the 1st picture zoomed in, you can see the blue section under the grey tubular thing of the compressor.

This is where I squeezed my arb one. I have got a bracket coming off the dual battery tray. It's a perfect fit.

It's a little tank. Gives you instant pressure for lockers etc.

Thanks mate, now I get it. Couldn't tell from the other photo, but much clearer in your pic.

Mine is mounted in an under tray tool box, looks quite neat and still leaves plenty of room for storage.

Will last longer there too. (If kept dry).

Mines bout 75L per min Threedogs, Reckon I might run an air line from it to the bulbar somewhere so I don't have to lift the bonnet when I want to use it, although might run cooler with bonnet up.
