I made this at work during my spare time and some left over material and believe me it is stout.

The plate mounted to the compressor is fully adjustable I just can't figure out if I want to flip it and put the breathers on top. The only problem is I will have to drill a hole in my mount to pass the wire through.

Where are you mounting it?

Off my AllJ rack in the passenger side window I should have it mounted by the end of the week hopefully.

Looks like crazy overkill but hey, the price was right. Looks very cool. Probably doesn't weigh very much.

The price for me was free and yes it is all of about 10 pounds closer to 30 with the compressor though.

Maybe you can bandsaw it right down the middle of each piece and make 2 mounts out of it

Nah I like the extra bulk it makes me feel better with how exspensive the compressor is. But I can probably build a few more before I change jobs.

8020...... Nice.....

Nope I work for a company called item southeast and this material is made by a German company called item. It is the grandfather of 8020.

I almost thought you were being sarcastic with the names, then I googled it :-)r

LOL, i did too!

You would be surprised how many people I have talked to about the stuff that probably wonder the same thing. But no I wasn't being sarcastic I promise. Air craft grade extruded Aluminium with a custom fastening system to meet anybody needs. Have I mentioned the sales men spend alot of time on the work floor with us. :ROTFL:

Changed jobs here recently so not alot of keep wrench time but here is the mounted finished product.

I don't get any rattling or seem to have any obstruction in my rear view. Plus with the heavily tinted windows in the rear no one even knows it is back there.

That's so different. I like it.

Matter of fact it is good use of dead space. I've seen people put fire extinguishers horizontally but that way it doesn't utilize all the space. Is all the weight on the rack/shelf? Is the rack/shelf removable?

It is to bolts and stand and compressor come off and all the wieght is spread across one side of the rack. As you can see from the aluminum plates bolted through the sides of the rack spreading the wieght. I have been driving with it like that for about 2 days trying to see if it will rattle or move none so far.

I don't that will EVER move or rattle!
