Ive got a bit more done this week, ive been limited by the rain, so decided to install my onboard air compressor set up, im over doing the compressor in the bag thing (plus mine died)
During my rollover repairs, i kept thinking the big void in the LHR gaurd is a waste of space, and how good would it be to install a compressor hidden inside, i also wanted a air tank, ive still got plumbing and wiring to do, but this is what ive ended up with so far.......
Its a tight fit, i went with a 9L tank, and twin TJM compressors, they are not the fastest or most powerfull of pumps, but are reliable (and i got them at the right price), having the tank should help them a little, i will put the pump/s "on" switch near the driving position (will have auto pressure cut out, when tank is full), that way ,i can turn pumps on and pre fill the tank "before" i stop to air up.
I also plan to put seperate fuses on each pump, and one way valves on each of the pump output lines (before the tank), that way the system will still pump up tyres ,even if one pump should fail, and air wont ever bleed back out through the pumps as well.
