    Tight squeeze for onboard compressor

    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.
    Between Patrols ATM. Had a beaut GU with 6.5 Chev TD. Next is a GU ute with a 4.5 litre Cummins conversion and a camper on the back.

    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.
