    Anyone made their own bracket for under the seat install of an air compressor?

    I know hats available for purchase. Please don’t share those.

    Rather save the money and make my own bracket or support. Wondering if anyone has already done this??

    Grateful for your help.

    Oooh look, another mod.....
    You could flex your DIY skills by using Gorilla Glue & Duct Tape to secure the air compressor down. I betcha' it'd work! All in, you'd spend....$2.73

    What compressor are you mounting under your seat. Doing this would be pretty straight forward. I’m in OC, Cali, if you were closer I would say swing by and we can come up with something

    Thanks Sparky! I as going to do single arb. Small enough to fit well with clearance. Might just buy the desert does it kit to save time. ;) We move Nov 30 from Tx to NJ. So wanted to get it in before then. I always get a flat on road trips (bad luck). Haha. So trying to be prepared. Under the seat is just a nice neat way to keep it out of sight but retain the functionality of a clean setup.

    I didn’t think there was that much height under the seats to fit a compressor.

    Only solution I can come up with is heavy duty Velcro (the side where it would grip the carpet). Make sure you get all weather Velcro. If you have the single ARB compressor, the mounting plate is flat so you can attach the Velcro.

    Just get the one available if you can't come up with a design. I'm no fabricator so I just buy it.
