    Any suggestions on location of a 2.5 gallon air tank and Viair compressor (450C)?
    Would appreciate suggestions of what worked and what to avoid!

    My large tank is mounted in front of the rear cross member, above the rear drive shaft. Sorry I don't have pics

    It might help to know the dimensions of the tank.

    Originally I had my 2 1/2 gallon air tank on a rear fender well.

    When I added a cross bar to my cage to provide support for 5 point harnesses I moved the tank up to a plate welded to the cross bar.

    My ExtremeAir compressor sits on the left inside fender well, under the hood. The same place the Sun Quickair and later the QuickAir 3 were. Kinda crowded, but works. (The LinkArc welder sit on the right inside fender well under the hood, snuggled between the Ford 289 V8. - Makes for a very crowded under hood, but thankfully I don't go there that often.)

    Viair 450C is a bit smaller than the ExtremeAir, so it'd work for you better.

    I simply couldn't find places in the frame or underneath to put the tank, without sacrificing valuable height / clearance issues. - Dual exhaust killed that.
