Help with Mount for ARB Twin Compressor in 1st Gen Tundra

Hi, Guys and Gals:

I’ve been striking out trying to find a mount for a compressor to fit under the hood, passenger side, of my 2002 Tundra. There’s a ton of room, looks like it can be secured to the top inside of the front wheel well- maybe even to existing bolts, but I haven’t found anything ready made. I know there’s sometimes more in common between my 1st Gen Tundra and later sized Tacos— hoping one of you an look at these pics and point me toward anything you know about that might work. Thanks for looking + any help you can give me!

You actually have more room than I did. I have a gizmo that sits right in that spot and had to mount above it. I mounted a Harbor Freight compressor in that spot. I made my own brackets and used existing threaded holes in the fender. Maybe it'll give you some ideas.

 

Thanks for this! Looks good, and like a great solution if I can figure out how to fab brackets. Can you help me even more: what gauge steel did you use? Where could I buy it? Did you use a press to make the straight bends? (Trying to work out if this involves tools and materials I could use again.)

 

16 gauge flat bar stock 3/4" or 1" width. I used a hammer and a vise to make the bends. Hacksaw to cut it and of course a drill.

 

Thank you! I’ll give it a shot.
