Fitting a Aircompressor in a 95 TD with ABS and a dual battery system

[gphcald Member Find all posts View Profile Close gphcald]

I currently have my air compressor mounted on the passengers side where the batteryy is mounted on the petrol V6s.
I will be installing a dual battery and putting the battery in this location.
My question is where can I put the air compressor (its a ARB single motor).
If I have to I can put it in the rear but will have to redesign my rear drawers and as such would prefer to leave it in the engine bay
Photos and/or replies greatly appreciated

In my old 90s I found I could fit an ARB compressor on the right hand side, it was in front of the brake boaster ,and abs unit [from memory] . With the ARB unit if you loosen the brackets around motor and air tank you can rotate these to change the shape to help with fitting.

I had it installed next to the brake booster and it fitted very snug. But now moved it next to my second battery.
It is mounted on the batery plate and sits just behind the radiator. I've also connected the air intake of the pump to the air filter box so it now takes the air from the snorkel.
I'm installing a heat exchanger where I had the compressor installed before.

That where I have it now. it is getting moved to make room for a 2nd battery. How did you mount it to the mud guard? drill holes with penny washers and left it at an angle? or made up a bracket? anmy pix would be appreciated

Sorry the photos are not that great.

The compressor now sits on part of the Battery bracket




This is where the compressor was, now that is my heat exchanger in its place. Still working on finishing the plumbing.
