I mounted my ARBA compressor inside the spare wheel bracket. It was actually an easy install as I was able to use the existing Anderson plug wiring.
This pic shows the compressed air outlet and black compressor switch. (The red switch is to operate an LED rear work light).
It's been in the spare wheel bracket for over 4 years without issue.Silver NT VRX Di-D

I don't run a 2nd battery under the bonnet, so I purchased a battery tray and mounted my ARB compressor to this.Comment

Hi,
a popular mounting method is to put it under a 2nd battery tray and run a hose for the outlet.
Here is a photo of my arb twin compressor mounted to some flat plate on the firewall.

I have a single chamber ARB compressor and because of the position of my fuel pre-filter I don't have room for a second battery tray or to attach the compressor to the firewall. The guys at ARB fixed it to the top of the wheel arch just forward of the firewall on the passenger side. They use steel mounting plates on either side of the wheel arch, with nyloc nuts. I wondered at the time how robust this would be, but after doing Arnhem Land, lots of corrugated outback tracks, and a couple of trips to the Victorian High Country, it's all solid and no problems. I don't think there would be room there for a double chamber compressor.Attached FilesBY13/MY14 Pajero NW GLX Auto, Cooper ST Maxx, factory towbar, Drifta drawers, SmartBar, Airtec snorkel, Koni Raid 90 front, Dobinson IMLrear shocks with Kings 34-HD springs front, 35-EHD rear, Brown Davis i/c, sump and transmission bash plates, Piranha diff breathers, Fuel Manager pre-filter, LRA 81L auxiliary fuel tank, Piranha steel battery tray, Sherpa 9500 lb winch, HPD catch can, LockUp Mate, Harrop front e-locker, DBA T3 rotors and Xtreme pads, Mark's 4WD reduction gearsComment

28 L/min may be a bit slow on a 4WD?
Great idea about mounting in the spare wheel area!
I've considered a few times behind the grille - seems like plenty of room there too.2014 NW MY14 3.2 DID GLX-R Auto. Champagne in colour!

I agree. According to the specifications table at:Originally posted by Keithyv View Post
the ARB single chamber ("high output") compressor does 87L/min and the dual chamber ("max performance") model does 174L/min. It's the air locker activation compressor that does about 28L/min. You'd want to be more patient than I to use it on a set of deflated tyres.BY13/MY14 Pajero NW GLX Auto, Cooper ST Maxx, factory towbar, Drifta drawers, SmartBar, Airtec snorkel, Koni Raid 90 front, Dobinson IMLrear shocks with Kings 34-HD springs front, 35-EHD rear, Brown Davis i/c, sump and transmission bash plates, Piranha diff breathers, Fuel Manager pre-filter, LRA 81L auxiliary fuel tank, Piranha steel battery tray, Sherpa 9500 lb winch, HPD catch can, LockUp Mate, Harrop front e-locker, DBA T3 rotors and Xtreme pads, Mark's 4WD reduction gearsComment
