Steve-Oh Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Changed some things about the bracket based on what I found when mocking it up last night, a couple things were off, I wanted to locate the compressors a bit lower to the floor, etc. The first has a large area for a logo if I can come up with one, the second would stay blank, and the third has the truss design continuing all the way across. The triangles on both sides represent the compressor mount brackets. I'm gonna cut another mock up this afternoon and test fit again :thumb:#1 if you're doing a logo/name ... #3 If you're not. Scrap #2 since if you were to put a logo on 2 it would be too cluttered.I thought your car was already named "OCD Machine" / "The OCD Machine"?

1997cobra Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 that looks perfect! those rubber mounts help allot. still gonna hear those viairs pretty good but i'm sure you wont be constantly airing up and down all the time, lol. cant wait to see the IRS bag setup. i seriously can NOT wait for that.your tank mount that you fab'd looks like the heims joints i wanna use with my 4 link. can you say from moving them around or whatever that they are noisy? i like them cause they are rubber bushing free so no worries about them going bad but kinda worry if they will be clunky or noisy on a moving suspension. thanks buddythese are a happy medium. I'll say from personal experience that they are STRONG, and the offer alot of articulation with no bind, and are quiet like a bushing. 100% rebuildable alsonote the link in the first sentence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 A couple mock up pictures of the most recent version of the compressor mount. This is the "racecar" version and I popped some allen bolts in the holes to give you a better idea, I'm going to start working on the OCD Fabworks logo design this week :thumb:A couple weeks ago I looked at something too long...Remanufactured knuckles from FTBR. New wheel bearings, bead blasted and shot peened knuckles, olive drab zinc coated hubs/splines (olive drab zinc coating is the most durable and rust-resistant zinc coating according to Bruce at FTBR), and 3" ARP wheel studs. I never thought IRS knuckles could be so sexy lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The black aluminum mounts provide you with a double insulated mounting to dampen vibrations and the cardboard mount I'm making is providing something to attach them to.

Correct, I won't be mounting the compressors to pieces of deck lumber lol.The cardboard won't hold the weight of the compressors, hence the blocks. Those things are heavy little bastards.

About the only way I think they could be quieter is if I concealed them inside an insulated box. I think this is about the best setup I could have as far as dampening the vibration while still having them visible. Dunno about opening a shop lol, I work waaaaaaaaaaaay too slow lol. I could see a lot of unhappy customers when it's been years since they brought me their car lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yea, I get myself into trouble when I'm taking a break sitting in the garage. The old saying "Idle hands are the devil's tools" is absolutely true in my case... loldid you ever say what you're doing with the sub enclosure? wrapping it with something? painting it? wassup with that? secret?The panels will be wrapped in alcantara with light grey stitching around the edges. I haven't decided whether I'll wrap the sub part that sticks up through or paint it, but if I do paint it I'm gonna do gloss black on it against the alcantara, which should be a nice subtle contrast. The stock trunk panels that cover behind the taillights and the wheel tubs will be dyed black instead of the pepper gray color they are now.

ttocs Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 As for dying the panels black, save yourself some time and just get either some fleece or felt, spray some glue on the panels and it sticks/stretches a lot to make it in all the corners. I tried to dye mine and for some reason I could not get it a complete black. I would get a section of it good and dark but then the color would always fade to grey on the sides.

I'm leaving the wood uncovered and the factory panels as-is for now since I'm still building stuff in there. I have a couple burn marks on the MDF from tack welding already, even though I had a fiberglass welding blanket laid in the trunk when I tacked things in place, lol. If they had been covered in alcantara at the time I would have been PISSED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
