Oh, yes. I have to maintain the OE look.. The advanced plan I have incorporates the "hub disk" so the spare sits properly.
Here's a .dxf file that can be imported if anyone wants it.

No thanks. Everyone here knows that I'm .dxf challenged.

Oh, I was thinking of putting the hub disk on the back side of the mount so that it mates with the spare as it does in stock form. It would be hidden that way tho. I think having just a bent plate or 2 welded flat pieces would vibrate really badly without some sort of gusseting or bracing. I saw that the AC is 10.25 lbs and the 1/8" plate could hold that no problem but I think without any bracing between the two faces it will vibrate too much. Just my thoughts. It would be cool to integrate a hose storage method into the bracket so the hose could circle the AC along the inner circumference of the rim also!
I use a coiled hose and that would store easily w/o "wrapping"
Here some text added to the pic to explain better

OK, as long as it's yellow. :)Quote:

Are you saying that the tank you are using does not have/come with a bracket made for it? I just removed the spare tire mounting and used the existing hole plus drilled a couple extra and mounted my 10lb tank bracket right in. Fits perfectly, I just had to shave off the padlock loop and trim the inside of the trim where those thin raised areas are.
If you have no bracket, maybe some QuickFist clamps could hold your tank?

You're gonna have to read the first post.. I have no tank, I'm gonna use my MV50 Compressor (It works fast enough for me) and I still want to keep my spare in it's original place.
Ok,yeah, I guess I just misread it. I thought you meant in place of the spare. Sorry.Quote:

Yes..............I could make this!
I dont stock that size of steel which means i gotta buy a whole length to make one mount, then im left with what ever isnt used :_huh: $$$$$$$
Scott, you can also lighten up the mount by drilling several 1inch holes in the plates....it will also assist with cooling of the compressor. I am keeping an eye on this thread and may mimic it as I have the same compressor.:thumbup:
????? Will the hose reach the front tires with it mounted there or have you replaced the hose with a longer one?
Hey, Tim. I did my window brackets a few weeks ago and I thank you for the bits. I did some door sound deadening with RAAM Mat and I will post pictures in another thread, I just wanted to thank you here for your product. Take care.
There's a little bit of Tim in most of our VX's now.:)
Are you talking about thickness or other?Quote:
