@ SD don't know your driving style but you think tank is OK for ramp over angle.
Love the led lighting, take it they are only led strip lights?
Awesome times to inflate but no time for mandatory beer during air up, lol
Edit @ mega anything up to 65 amp maybe more ,
Sca don't say what amps/ @ psi. Draw the compressor is so you may need to test it if you want a fair idea of what your going to use.
I would have put pics up sooner but i had a little accident on push bike, rather nasty one.

I'm always keeping an eye on my battery's. The compressors I am running are big and these two together are as good as my belt driven one in my workshop.

I should have seen this, I cant do it this way because it physically will join the wiring for both batteries . I would love some input here, the only way I can see out of this is if I go ahead and add the third battery now.
Not sure who is following but after some thought I pulled the Dual battery switch/isolator apart and worked out the contact points and filed down the part where the switch makes contact joining the batterys.

So from the Common it only able to select ether source 1 or 2 no 1+2.
You do know you can buy them like that? Mines 1 , 2, 1+2 and off and was under 30$ rated 150 amp
Hi SD. Did you made provision for airflow? My compressor gets quite hot.

I'm trying to do something similar and put a pressure valve off a tee piece and couldn't find anything to fit. Grr
Thank you
Mick
@ Srex idealy you want a non return valve and may be an air manifold to fit the pressure valve to
Cheers mate, I have seen the manifolds but only in npt. I need to be able to get out of the compressor first, either npt or bsp to be able to attach one. I've already been to a couple of fitting shops including Enzed and it's not a common thread which is annoying.Quote:

I have this one for air horn,,, front diff lock.
Plus another for tyres , but too big for under bonnet installation
@ strex I think looking at the compressor they have used a bolt thread from the head through the handle to
the nitto fitting,,,,, either 10mm x 1.25 or 8mm x 1.25,,,,,,,,, Sounds right to me.
Are you mounting it as well ,if so Id remove the handle, but thats just me.lol

I did originally have the handle off 3dogs but that was a different thread again. So on that one handle there were 3 different threads. Talk about making it confusing. HahaQuote:
