[tcb-1]

dropped a print of my valve bank mounting plate to my fabricator yesterday and picked the finished product up this afternoon. gotta love waterjet tables. precise, even cuts.

decided to take the tank ot to make it easier to mock up the mounting holes. also thought about my valve arrangement. it'll be tight, but compact and easy to work on. oh yeah, I plan on making a lift off bed hatch to access the valve bank, tank, and compressor. the hatch will be cut from the original bed wood making it "kind of" stealth and unobtrusive. those plans are finally coming together.

here's the plate with a mock up of the valve layout. I have to flip the valve mounting brackets to get this layout, but that's pretty straightforward. I wanted to mount them to a sturdy surface that protected them from road debris and copious amounts of water spray.



once I get the mounting holes drilled, it's off to get paint.

the bed mods will be next. stay tuned.........
