My friend made me a compressor mount for my ARB compressor. Turned out really nice. Utilized all but one factory hole, the one I had to drill was pretty easy, even for me to do. Stainless steel construction.

First- just sitting it in there to check for alignment after removing the bolts that will be used:

All bolted up, took me about an hour start to finish:

It sits nice and level, and allows easy access for airing up tires (and my kid's bike tires).

That does look very nice. Someone has a CNC machine.

He has a shop with a laser and all sorts of contraptions. We do trade work. I get things made and he gets lectures on American History.

That looks great. So...when does he start taking orders?

The problem is, when you start making things for sale and you only make 3-5 at a time, the cost is much more expensive. I'd suspect that to make anything less than about 10 would put the cost of these at $75/each.

I have the prototype that is plain steel and not nearly as nice that I am going to post up in the FS section for $25 or so.

Made a limited run of the trays. There are 3 of them, $75 each. Shipping should be no more than 8-10 dollars.

What did you use to cap off the tire inflation kit?

That is a cap that came from some connections for my washing machine. Just so happens to fit perfectly...


And just a little bump, here is a compressor mount:
