Solenoid valve mounting
Was wondering where you guys are mounting your solenoid valves? Building brackets etc? Also do the 2 front ones need to be close to the front of the truck to work properly? Any pictures would be helpful.

Re: Solenoid valve mounting
You can buy brackets or build your own pretty easily. The valves don't have to be close to the bag they are working. As for location find a place that is easily accessible and provides protection from road debris.

Re: Solenoid valve mounting
I mounted mine to a piece of flat stock with short u bolts and bolted them to the side of the frame right underneath the front part of the bed.

Re: Solenoid valve mounting
I had some L-shaped brackets layin around that I drilled some holes in and mounted to the frame under the bed up near the cab. Then bolted the valves on to them. They work fine.

Re: Solenoid valve mounting
As mentioned find a safe location and build your bracket to fit. There have been a couple threads on the subject with some good quality pics. Try drilling down through the posts and see what you find.
