    fix for this problem is to run a relay so that it only pulls a few mA off the system... most of the power is ran off your battery, but is switched by an external source (switch, ignition, what ever you want)

    The hose I have that came with the pump reaches, But I'll probably fins a different one. I need some bulkhead mounted speed connector and a real chuck rather than the Mickey Mouse screw on one that came with.

    I'm shooting for the ability of using the compressor without having to remove the spare tire or the cover thus, it will be wired, switched, protected and have a hose system that would blend in seamlessly.

    Tim, I' not a welder/fabricator by trade, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night...

    How about welding two pieces of four inch stock together & grinding smooth, to make an eight inch wide piece? Or would that be prone to warp?

    Just thinkin' out loud...

    Wow! You guys are too much! I have a source (came anonymously) but, like Billy said, he has a compressor also so, we may end up making more than just the one for me.

    Hold onto that thought....

    I'll try to cut 2 this weekend & leave them 'rough' finished for further mods. If anyone is interested after they see yours, you can just send them one in exchange for a site donation. They'll have to supply their own spare donut mounting plate tho since I only have 1.

    Automotive door edging works great to clean up those edges - cheap too.

    Here's one of my favorite email forwards:

    I don't care if you lick windows,
    take the special bus or occasionally pee on yourself. (Been there, done that)
    You hang in there, sunshine - you're friggin' special.
    Every sixty seconds you spend angry, upset or mad,
    is a full minute of happiness you'll never get back.

    Today's Message of the Day is:
    Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly,
    Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile.

    Life may not be the party we hoped for,
    but while we're here, we should dance.

    Dang - I can't believe I forgot all about this, sorry. I tripped over it in the garage yesterday. Are you still wanting to get this done Scott?

    For me, no. But if someone else wants what you got, they are welcome by me.. I've got to get this done on my end as well. Got to have it done before Moab!

    Thank you Tom!!
