And it's still working.
Will have to break out the digital tach thingy to see if this expensive wiring boondoggle actually makes measurable difference. That would be assuming that I ever get it done?

Here's the near-finished product. Still have to put a 90 degree elbow in so the chuck sits upright, and make a hard cover for it so the compressor isn't vulnerable to a hit from loose cargo.
The mount seems REALLY sturdy - I can't budge it.

Puma Mount
Puma Air compressor mount update.
.
The top portion will covered, vented and a cooling fan will be installed for when the compressor runs. The area near the back is reserved for a 12 circuit, Blue Sea panel. There will be an access door to get to it. I purposely left the bottom door free of framing and will make a door for access to the jack storage area, which will be used for more electronics. I may use a water friendly type of material, to upholster the frame, carpet just gets stuff stuck to it all the time
I will do something similar to the other side for the rear dual battery, but it will be more extensive, since my camera equipment, power inverter, dual battery controller and, overhead console, bus bar are located there.
It's unfortunate that I don't have a tig welder, or it would all be aluminum. After it's all done I may talk to bellydoc about using his to make it over in aluminum, but mig welding it, is pretty easy. The whole frame is about 10lbs. So I won't sweat it too much. I will say it's not going to move at all. It is sturdy
thanks
