Where did you mount your PSC hydro-assist reservoir?

[Chris]

For those of you with PSC hydro-assist, can you post photos of where you mounted your reservoir?

I am installing my ARB single compressor and want to make sure I have enough room for the PSC reservoir.

This is where I had planned to mount it. Do you foresee any issues mounting it here?

I had mine mounted with the stock bracket, but then relocated it to the fender, about 8" away from the pump. It made zero difference in noise in my case to relocate it closer. I am using Blaine's kit and the PSC kit with the -12AN supply and the -8AN return.

To relocate it, I used a piece of 2" angle steel to create a very basic bracket to the lower bolt holes on the reservoir.

This picture is a bit cut off. Ignore the other pump

Yes, Blaine’s kit. I was going to mount the ARB compressor on the passenger fender, but the damn A/C line is keeping me from being able to do so unfortunately.

For an ARB, assuming it's a dual, you can either use a bracket like this: https://mountainoffroad.com/products/arb-air-compressor-mount-tj-99-06

Or, I know it can also barely fit on the ABS tray. Google brings up a lot of photos on this site of dual ARB compressors on the tray

It's all good Yeah it's on the ABS tray. I also made a mount for the quick release fitting to make it a bit more convinent to hook up.

Mine is a single, but the ABS tray is now entirely obstructed by the washer fluid reservoir which was moved due to the GenRight inner fenders.

I’m honestly just thinking about getting rid of the washer fluid reservoir

Can’t decide if that would be a bad idea or not.

You could probably drill that bracket for a single. At least it wouldn't take up any fender space

Put it wherever you like, I'm just going to move it to where I want it anyway.

The reservoir will want to go where the compressor is now. With the 7.25" reservoir mounted to a hoodline flat fender, I could not move mine any more forward without it contacting the hood.

In that case, I'm going to see if I can possibly get it to fit in the ABS tray.

Mount it to the back side of the fender on the slanted face under the washer fluid reservoir. The compressor rotates in the mount so you can do that. Do not put it on the tray.

No put it on the ABS tray so its below the power steering pump.

Blue cap is a smaller washer fluid tank and pump.

Blaine used a shorter reservoir and mounted it on the inner fender.

It appears the windshield washer fluid reservoir is prohibiting me from mounting it on the backside of the fender there, even if I rotate the compressor in the mount.

That's the golden ticket right there, the smaller washer fluid tank and pump.

 

[Lou]

Smaller washer bottles are cheap and easy to install.

It will fit under the brake booster. Should be a small tray there or, just mount it to the firewall

here is a picture of my PSC reservoir with bracket.

The reservoir needs to be the highest point in the system. Don't think mounting it to the abs tray would work.

I meant get the same bracket I have for the PSC reservoir. That will make it the highest point in the system and provide space below to mount the compressor.
