    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.
    9" Tall 8" Wide I Stock 3/16" in 6" Wide.....The width on the upright bracket could only be 6" Wide with some fancy gusset fabin at the bottom and be plenty strong.

    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...

    Back on the original idea by ZEUS using a "Door Kick Plate" as raw material, I was able to find the following info:

    Source: www.WRhardware.com
    Telephone: 1-800-225-2517

    Pre-Cut sizes of Door Kick Plate available:

    8" x 26"
    10" x 26"
    12" x 28"
    14" x 28"
    16" x 28"
    18" x 28"
    22" x 28"
    24" x 28"

    Of special note, this particular company does offer "custom sizing" available by telephone; and will custom cut and sell the exact size Kick Plate needed from raw stock, thereby eliminating waste and reducing cost. This source is definately worth further investigation.

    Scott,

    Success. I found a piece 1/8' aluminum in the scrap bin that's already bent.

    If the 9" height is not critical and you could live with 8" then I can actually get 2 out of this piece. If 9" is critical, I can only get 1.

    Guidance?

    Tom

    BTW, it already has a nice brushed finish (as long as I don't mess it up during the cuts)!!! May wanna contact the magnabra guy to see if you can get some of that edge guard stuff he uses - it'd give it a really finished look.
