Re: Carbon-10
I think I would be afraid of cracking the chrome tightening them as tight as I would want them on a frame.

Re: Carbon-10
Just curious, what size are the bolts you used to put it all together? Are they 3/8" or 7/16"?

Re: Carbon-10
I was able to mount my Air Zenith compressors using 2 factory holes in the frame but will have to drill two holes for the rear mounting bracket. Has anyone put a thick piece of rubber or urethane between the frame and the compressor to help insulate the vibration created by the compressor when running? and if so is it noticeably better?
