Been carrying around the FP ARB kit in my trunk for a while now, decided to do a bit of surgery and a spot of tinkering to reclaim a bit of space back there.
Step 1, order a new mount bracket from ARB, part no. 320115SP
Step 2, do a bunch of measurements, and 3d print a bracket that will bolt the frame of the compressor, to the rear roll bar:
(stl files available upon request, printed from PETG since it *should* hold up better to heat vs PLA)
Step 3, disassemble the ARB toolbox and remove the compressor from it, then bolt into the new frame. Make sure to re-clock it into the blue cylinder, otherwise the nozzle points directly at the roof. Then simply clip the ends off the leads, replace with an Anderson connector that's tied to the busbar of your battery system, and bob's your uncle!
I noticed that the vibration was pretty decent, so I opted to mount the bracket against the frame with some rubber grommets to let it 'float' a bit while in use:
Works well, and no more having to open the hood just to air back up after a trip
