I'm trying to come up with some sort of layout for Frank. So far this is all I got... I't not done yet but you can get the idea.... I like the idea of the tube but it looks alittle bulky..... any thoughts
Picture removed because my idea sucked...LOL
;D

I think square tube tank/compressor mounts look like poo...I'd draw some stuff up that you can get laser cut...that's what I'm gonna do if I ever redo the tanks in the Mazda

Yeh.....the more I look at it the less I like the whole idea..... looked good mocking it up on the bench with no tube but in reality it aint working for me..... I talked with Frank a little last night, and I think we are going to try and get most of everything mounted under the bed instead. His main concern was accessing the parts incase of failure.

If he's worried about failure, tell him to get check valves so if a bag, or line to a bag, blows he'll only lose that corner instead of all 4 and tank pressure.

I've already got him getting some... It's kind of hard trying to figure out what is in Franks head, especially with him being out of town.....

Yea that is a hard one. If he's getting check valves he doesn't have much to worry about. Just plumb in a fitting on the tank so if the compressors aren't working for what ever reason he can fill it from an outside source. He worries a little too much sometimes, lol.

Im not worried about blowing a bag or line...LOL. I havent blown one in 3 years and dont think its gonna happen any time soon. What I dont like is having a leak somewhere and not having easy access to it. I have had leaks in the past at my work where having the valves easy accessible have saved me a cab ride home. Ryan..im gonna get 4 check valves today. Since im running 1/2" line I will get 4 1/2" check valves (One for each bag). Wait....with the air manifold setup im gonna have should I get 2 since there will only be 2 inputs going into it?

I let ryan know...would love to get some laser cutting done. Anyone have hook ups to a man that can do this? |

I've completely scrapped the whole tubing idea.....
Frank..... you'll still need 4, if you only put 2 in then you would dump the air to all 4 bags instead of just one, Don't forget about the 3/8" one for the horns....

Picture removed because my idea sucked...LOL ;D Your idea didn't suck, square tubing just doesn't look right for air tank mounts.  And Doug, I think Ryan probably has AutoCAD or something else he could use to draw up the brackets for Kyle to cut out.... |
