Where ever you mount it ensure it is on rubber mounts. It will vibrate and cause lots of vibrations when it's running. 110 D250 SE HT

Trial and error I think. Try and position it near some bracing. ie if you mount in on a flat panel then try and do it where the bracing runs on the otherside. Or mount in a corner where the panels have less scope for vibrating.
Ensure you use the backing plate that comes with the compressor. That will help a lot as well 110 D250 SE HT 110 USW SOLD RRE HSE Dynamic Gone, wife killed it VOLVO XC60 R Dynamic with some toys Polaris RZR 900XP SOLD |

Not sure which model 90 you have or what size compressor you have but in my 90 HT with no rear bulkhead I have mine mounted on behind the driver's seat, on the top of the rubber matted wheel box.
I have quite a lot of non-standard gubbins in there - fuse box, roll cage and load barrier (dog guard) but it fits fine. Done 15k miles around Australia on a lot of rough tracks and not had any problems with it, and no vibrations to speak of. Usually the air line is coiled a bit tidier than in the picture and tucks away down the side of the roll cage. Been a bit lazy with my tidying up of late! Still loads of "Red Centre" sand in there!

So is it a big job to get under the passenger seat. I will wait for it to arrive and have a good scratch of the head.
Thanks - Ben |
