Currently working on a similar set up but like yours better. I just extended the bolts down from the third row hold down. Used grade 8.8 bolts and then made two triangle mounts with with a connecting bar in the middle.

I have been looking at gauges for underhood, specifically for fuel pressure, but I have noticed most if not all of the liquid gauge manufactures warn that using them underhood will resort in the fluid getting hot and changing the pressure the gauge reads. Did you see any warnings with your gauge? I know the location that you are going to put it won't see super high temps, but just curious.

These aren't designated as automotive applications per se but they give a working ambient temp of -4F to +150F. For mounting just under the hood or under the chassis these should be ok. I have one on my truck that I've been testing for about three weeks now and so far so good. That being said I have not checked its range to see if its changed much as it gets really hot.
You make cool stuff, I'll be buying more soon. Wife says I have to get the lockbox and FEM lid off the dining room table first...

Sorry everyone. I've been focused on four different product developments so time is stretched thin. I did want to show the suction hoses that go from the York to the air canister. I have been working with both Parker and Norgren to simplify the setup and parts have been going back and forth trying to find a solution that doesn't require a 12 week lead time or a 100 unit min. order 
Here is where these stand for o-ring or rotolock (and no I don't have prices yet). I realized that all of the o-rings I ordered are incorrect so I need to order up a new batch.

Complete 80 Series Rear Air Tank Solution
Finally in production. I've ordered a bunch of stuff that's coming in. Because I have so many things going on I'm only making 20 of these. If popular I'll do more. If not then meh, I won't

The air manifold is next on the list. Finally getting the prototype made now that the metal shop has some machine time opened up. This piece is just the bracket of course but its bolt on using the truck's existing bolts. It mounts to the fender right next to the airbox.
Fine by me because I don't have a Morningstar solar control unit.Would that be where i currently have my Morningstar solar control unit....
Something tells me joey has a solution to my problem....Fine by me because I don't have a Morningstar solar control unit.

I was having panic attacks over the cantilevered design of the shelf. I also had two holes that I needed to verify and had to order the part before I could verify. This meant pulling back the shelf order. But I had everything triple checked and did the load/stress survey done to the material and found out I was totally fine and decided to stay with 12 gauge vs just upping it to the 1/8". It just wasn't needed. The shelves should be ready fairly soon. All of these are without the unit even being bolted down.

Finally getting to the little brackets that will hold the Quick Couplers to the bumper or drawers or wherever you want. Hardware will be 316 Stainless Socket Head Cap Screws (SHCS). Material will be Stainless Steel to prevent rust. I'm just about done with the components so that what you see here will just be a kit. This is Kit #1 (of 3). Feedback is welcome. This one bracket isn't all that innovative, its just my version of the standard L-bracket.
