I used the bracket supplied with the compressor. I didn't take any during photos but these should give you a pretty good idea of what to do.
Parts List:
4) 1/4" x 4" panhead bolts
16) 1/4" nuts
4) 1/4" nylon thread nuts
12) 1/4" locking washers
12) 1/4" x 1 1/2" washers
If you want to use it for on-board air for tires you'll also need:
1) 3/8" x 1 1/2" brass nipple
1) 3/8" Brass Tee
1) 3/8" x male quick connect
Start by reading the compressor manual. There are three adjustments on the compressor. One to rotate the body(2 black alled screws). One to rotate the reservoir(black 10mm? bolt). One to remove the compressor from the mounting bracket(4 allen screws).
First remove the compressor from the bracket. Then measure the distance between hole. Make sure the bracket is in the correct orientation. Then mark the hole. There will be an electric line in the way you want to miss with holes on either side of it. Drill the holes with a 5/16th drill bit. Start with an smaller bit to avoid skating.
Take the panheads and put washers on the bottom. Slide them through the holes you just drilled from the wheel well side. Put washer, then lock washer, then nut on them from the motor side. Tighten them up snugly for now.
Take the mounting bracket and see if it fits. It won't because of the round surface your mounting the bolts through. You'll want the bracket off the fender by about 3" or so. Tweak the bolts slightly till the bracket fits. Now remove the bracket and tighten the crap out of them. Once super tight add another 1/4" nut as a lock nut.
Now add another 1/4" nut about 1" from the top of the bolt to each bolt. Put the bracket on and align the compressor as best you can. Find a height that allows clearance from all the engine components. Once your satisfied with it lower the nut a few turns and add another 1/4" nut as a lock nut. Tighten the crap out of them..
Add a large washer to the bolt and put the bracket on. Take the black washers supplied with the compressor and put that over the bracket. Take a 1/4" lock washer and 1/4 nylon nut and tighten the bracket down. Trim off any bolt past the nut. It's gotta be flush or the compressor won't fit.
Put the compressor on the bracket and try your hardest to start the 4 allen screws that hold it to the bracket. Once started tighten the crap out of them. This was the biggest PIA of the whole thing. I managed not to drop any but it took a ton of patience. lol
Now rotate the compressor body however you want to fit. Lock down the 2 allen screws to secure the compressor.
If your doing on board air now dope and teflon the brass nipple, ARBs pressure switch, and the air quick connect. Assemble them before connecting to the reservoir. Now rotate the reservoir straight up and thread and tighten that assembly you just made. Rotate the reservoir down to where you want it and lock the nut tight.
Wire that thing up and test it. Congrats your done.
PS: I want that locker your putting in. lol Mine have to wait a few more months.
