Okay so here is part 1 of the Air ride build for Bernard :)

first off, strip the boot out back to nothing, see what we have to play with.

In the end looking at the boot build i decided to use the orignal build, mainly because it was already there and a good base to work off....time to strip the alcentra off...

So the plan was to sink the tank just enough to bolt it under neath and have the compresser behind it...

We measured out where the feet of the tank would sit, so we could just drop it into the holes so the belly of the tank would sit on the wood.

so its sunken and bolted to a peice of timber that runs under neath and through the ;legs of the tank...time to slap on the compressor...

At some point i will make a shake reducing plate, but for the time being, its fine where it is. knowing me ill change this round very month ahah

bosh, its in and ready to be wired up and plumbed in. I will probably turn the tank around and sink it some more, also hide the compressor underneath in a little sound/vibrate proof box somewhere. then to think how ill cover the full boot build it self. im think a dark wood laminate floor....hmmmm

Stay tuned for part 2 :thumbup:
