Now for the Compressor
The compressor is the largest in ARB's Range
First of all i purchased some 40 x 40 x 3ea
I then cut 4 sections @ 100mm marked out a centerline on the 4 angle sections then i marked out the hole centers which were 60mm apart - so each angle section has 2 holes in it on 1 side of the angle only.
I the trimmed 2 pieces of the angl on one side down to 15mm i then attached them together and welded them, i left the other sections as is and welded them together this alows for the compressor to sit level.
I then attached the brackets to the compressor and with a paint pen i marked the locations and then cut out the sections of carpet to be removed for the drilling process.
I remarked the holes and then drilled the 4 holes with a 8mm drill bit. i purchased stainless bolts for the bolting of the compressor down.
I painted the brackets with just a cold galvanising paint.
The compressor sits perfectly under my seat without fowling with the seats sliding mechanism.
For the electrical install.
I puchased 2, 2 mtrs of 50amp positive wire and 2 meters of 50 amp negative wire and some heat shrink along with 3 battery terminal conectors.
I taped the three sections of wire together and with just some fencing wire i taped the bundle of wire to so that i could feed the Power wires from the inside of the cab to the engine bay.
I then solderd the wires to the compressor wiring harness and heated the heat shrink. ( Important make sure the heat shrink goes on first ) I then cut the wires to size and soldered the battery terminal connectors to the wires.
For the switch install i installed it to the center console as it has three swith locations there and for the accessory power wires for operation i just installed to the cigarete wires as this is only for switch operation purposes.
Upon purchasing the compressor it comes with all the wiring diagrams you need.
All the wiring sits perfectly under the carpet and you wouldnt evan know it was there.
