Power steering reservoir mount concept is developed, just waiting on a prototype for it to test and show off.

I'll test it for you

So that whole mount is cantilevered off those two bolts on the bottom? Especially with something as vibratey as an air compressor, you're probably going to want some triangulation at a minimum.

interested in the mount

Interested in a strong mount that can take abuse. That's a terrible spot for a second battery in my opinion but I like the compressor location!

Not terribly cantilevered, the weight of the compressor is straight down above the rear bolt. We chose 1/4" alum to make it super strong, also kept the material below the 90 degree bend all the way out to the fender for rigidity. Where this short ledge actually rests on the sheet metal, you could drill and add a nutsert to secure there as well if you wanted to but I'm attempting to make this super simple no drilling/cutting required straight up bolt in installation. Ya know, for the lexus guys...

You mean the red location here? That would be good. Would help reassure overly conservative people like me.

Would also be super slick if you could put a mount for the PS reservoir off the side of the mount where the green area is on the picture.

I'm definitely interested, any idea on how long until the power steering reservoir bracket is ready?

I'll take an ugly one if it gets me there quick; trying to finish building my truck already, got a stack of boxes making my mouth water.
