I didn't take any pictures of the bracket before putting it in place (got ahead of myself), so pictures of just the bracket don't exist. I did take a couple of the assembly in place. Control logic is dictated by soon to be service air horns (from a Peterbuilt), so there must be air pressure when the truck is running. The tank and compressor came with a pressure switch and I added a 50A waterproof circuit breaker, an 80A constant duty solenoid, a 'Sugar Cube' relay, and a Weatherpack inline fuse holder. A signal from an ignition only source will close the relay which will connect the pressure switch to the solenoid. The whole system is protected by the breaker and the controls circuit is protected by a 15A fuse in the holder. All but the breaker & the pressure switch are bolted to the compressor bracket.
The main part of the bracket has a pair of angle steel pieces that ride on the top-inner and top-outer corners of the frame rail, then there is the tensioner strap that catches the lip of the lower flange and is pulled tight by the pair of long bolts. Originally I was going to weld the strap to the threaded block, but I realized that bolting it would allow for mis-alignment and might make assembly easier.
I expect that the compressor's discharge temperature will be quite high at times, so the first 10 feet or so of plumbing is 3/8" copper tubing arranged as a condensor. I'm also using a coil of it as vibration relief to make the jump from the rubber isolated compressor to the frame.
Can see some of the tubing and electrical here, white wire is Ancor Duplex power and ground wires, the single weatherpack is for the IGN signal, and the double weatherpack connects to the pressure switch:
Better view of the condensor plumbing:
The vibration coil and the air inlet filter are visible here, the large white wire in the foreground is the camper's pair of 6ga. wires. I'll be tapping into those for power and ground for the OBA system. Just out of view is a double 3/8" isolated stud bolted to the frame for this purpose.
