It sure the hell is heavy. Shockingly so.I spent about 5-6 days 3D printing samples trying to get things right. First it was 1/2 the mount, then the 2nd 1/2. Finally I made supported brackets/etc... lots of back/forth and trial and error. Lots of measuring and re-measuring and holding the compressor up and going "gawd this thing is heavy!"
Hours spend staring at the engine bay. Finally we sent it to our laser cutter to have them cut it out/bend the parts for us so we can do a final fitment. I know what has to be done on the 2.7L so it's not going to be too bad. I already know the compressor will fit it's just a question of: Can we make it work for both trucks with ONE mount or do I need to have a different SKU for the 2.7L trucks (which I'd rather not do, that cost more $$ to manufacture a 2nd type of bracket)
You can see exactly what I mean tomorrow, but this location is actually killer. I'll be able to remote both intakes into the cabin for easy filter maintenance and to get it out of the dust, and the quick connect is located in the same spot.. I'm stoked to finish it, but couldn't find the proper air hose local.
Can't wait.
