all mounted, may still rotate the tank more depending on the size of the tank, once ive pressure tested i can then hare wire it in place,

these are the wireless senders for the pressure gauge up front, there attached to schreder valves so should i have an issuse i can still air each corner induvidually

Just a small update. I've still not got the pressure switch so I'm stuck.

Today I quickly fit the blanks to the tank asw ell as the outlet and as a make shift fit a gauge on there where the switch goes.

I wanted to leak test the tank. So far so good. Pressure has held at 100psi for the last three hours. I'll see what it's like in the morning.

I've also Ordered an accuair speed switch as a controller instead of the switch box I made. Purely as I had birthday and Christmas money haha.

had a change of heart with the controller, main reason being the wire has to go through the door but the leon uses the full lock block, no where for the wire to go

it would mean taking the door off, drilling a hole for the cable etc so i decided on a new location


IMAG1070 by cuprajake1, on Flickr

its the cup holder section under the mdf2

so i made a bracket, primed and painted


IMAG1068 by cuprajake1, on Flickr

this is the bracket in situe, i used foam tape under the bracket then bolted down, this wat we get no vibration. the steel is about 5mm thick lol


IMAG1085 by cuprajake1, on Flickr

and finally in its home..
