I think I'd be looking at a which mount whilst it's all exposed like that...

Story with those headlights man? Mint headlights, literally. Thanks! NIce of you to say. I got carried away. I made an air compressor bracket, this is how I tension it.
Im going to make a winch mount yes. I'm going to make a ton of stuff. I am building a cnc first though, so I just want to get this repaired and road legal for now. The EAS system is screwed. I've redone the valve block and repaired lines. Putting the radiator back in tonight / tomo. Have to wire up an X-eng Fan switch first. All in good time. So much to get though.

Mechanical "air" compressor bracket? Interesting...
What air compressor are you using on your bus?

Its an industrial sanden model from a fridge truck. I think it will last, but, it isn't the highest CFM model. Its around 8CFM, I think 10 is possible with a different model. There is an onboard air York model now designed specifically for Air, rather than Refrigerant. I fitted a grease nipple to mine and pumped it full of grease.

So.. how will you get it to cut off when needed? I.e. full tank of air? Do you have an electric pressure sensor and release valve?
What headlight's Ned?
You ought to start a new thread for this and then you, Paul and Wammers can pull the EAS to pieces.

There's a whole new thread here!

A contentious thread I'm not sure I want to have. I have stress in work and I dont need stress in my leisure time.
My whole air system is on steroids. it's going to be a lot quicker to rise. I have upgraded the compressor and used a 1/2" line from the compressor direct to the air tank, and then from the air tank to the valve block. The lines from the vlave block to the airbags are the same though.
I don't want arguements so I have been using metalworking forums to document this process. Which seems a shame since an EDC is an interesting upgrade and easy to do.
Maybe best if I just continue this thread.

The valve block flow rate controls how fast the suspension rises. If you are using the same max pressure it will rise in normal use no quicker than it did as standard. Any increase in max pressure will compromise the solenoid seals.

Wammers yes, and appreciate your reply, good to have someone that has a clue to ask questions of.
Correct me if I get any of this wrong, I'm not pretending to be anything other than an amatuer.
The valve block flow rate is dictated by the size of the channels in the valve block, which is true troughout any air system, the size of the channels dictates how fast or slow the system reacts.
Whats in my head is not that complicated, but I'll do a diagram later tonight to better illustrate what I'm trying to say / ask / do.
In work at the moment, sitting beside my boss, so better make like I'm working.

Ok no problem, but why change something that works fine in standard form?
