Just brought an ARB high output compressor and are unsure as to where the best mounting spot would be on a Defender 90. Is it possible to fit it under the drivers seat as I have dual batteries under the passenger seat? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Allan,

My ARB compressor is under the passenger seat, with a hose/fittings run to the rear cross member (removing seat base/cover etc becomes annoying after a few times). I have my 2nd battery installed just behind the seats, so dont have the space issue you might have. I can upload photo's if you wish?

I have mine under the drivers seat - it's the high output one as well running diff locks. Only problem I find is the dust buildup, and mixed with water becomes quite dirty (I may have flooded the car a few times).

The hose reaches all tyres on my 110 without a problem, however I'm yet to check the reach to the camper trailer - I may need an extension (just reminded myself of that actually!)

Cheers
Chris
