On Board Air Options??

[alanbradley]

That's my plan - just need to be at home for a little while to get the finger out and get started.

I plan on using holes for the tie-down points as the anchors for my build. I'll put together a few sketches and post them up for comment (sometime). I intend on integrating a half-bulkhead behind the front seats with a mesh one above that so there are 2 tiers. I was intending on integrating a fridge/coolbox "zone", inverter and 12V power points, but I hadn't considered a "proper" compressor.

THats true!! they are big. I like the idea of Ldubs setup. I'm wondering if i can make a 'removable' boot build that utilises the seat brackets so if i HAD to i could pull out all the tools and gear and just pop the seats back in. like a 12mm MDF base and build up from there.

Mine uses all stock threaded mounting points. I started with a light framework made of .75" x 1.5" (1" x 2" in US) fir (pine), then countersunk the fasteners (stainless cap screws) so the heads were flush.
The two front mounts are near the stock speaker location. (on the floor)
Then cut a base of .25" plywood, & built up from there.
LOTS of glue, screws, & finish nails is key when building light...

Thanks dude!

So is it safe to do the old, spray WD40 (or similar) around the inside of the tyre and light with a match to bead it????
Seen loads on youtube and looks simple enough! Just have to take the valve centre out or it quickly deflates again with the cooling air in the tyre

No Problem...

Nobody EVER said that this is safe...

That having been said, how many things in life that are FUN, are also SAFE?......

Besides, you weren't REALLY using your eyebrows for anything constructive, were you?...

Safe=NO...Does it work when done right=YES

Considered using an aircon compressor in conjunction with a tank? Enormous volume and as much pressure as you want. Obviously not portable (although the tank could be)

But then you loose your use of A/C...not a good thing when its HOT as HELL!

I've seen some compressors that go on the fan belt but my MPG is bad enough as it is.

Still considering my options on this as i only like buying things once !

Like OZ then! I meant as well as not instead of. Not a lot of room but some econocars have tiny compressors. I'm thinking a custom power steering pulley that takes a common mag clutch........hmmmmm!
