Fixed mounting of ARB twin compressor, where?
Has anyone mounted one of the ARB twin compressors inside their Defender, if so where have you put it?

I think I'd like to fit one in to my engine bay but not sure where it would fit! I might be able to fit it under the driver's seat but that's currently full of recovery kit.

Under the driver's seat seems to be the usual place. The twin compressor is quite a big lump.

You'll regret keeping your recovery gear under the seat the day you get stuck somewhere you can't open the driver's door!

I have been in that situation!
Thing is it's got to go somewhere. The recovery kit would be easy to move in to the back. Easier to get at there.

What about tucked up behind the rear passenger wheel? It's a pretty big space there on a 110 - I've fitted an air tank of a P38 there for my on-board air setup (uses an air-con pump).

Not ideal in terms of mud and water but I'm sure you could shield / box it in well. If you're not adverse to cutting into the seat-boxes you could always make it accessible from inside the boot via a hatch. Ed
