My OBA setup has gone through 2 revisions so far, and I am just not satisfied with it. In order to get any practical use of it, I need a huge tank, and it takes up entirely too much space, and waay to long to refill.
I decided to rip it out and not run OBA until I can figure out a way to mount a York engine driven compressor.
I am just wondering how much interest there would be for a bolt-on bracket that would mount an engine driven York to the VQ40. Due to space requirements, I would be using the super-compact model, instead of the Standard model. The SC209 I plan on using is 100% duty cycle and creates 9.1 scfm at 3000rpm, or around 4.1 scfm at idle. These compressors are capable of running most airtools without a tank, and can be used to seat beads, and air up tires in literally just a few seconds.
These compressors can be found in junkyards on may old Volkswagens, or you can buy them rebuilt through most parts stores.
Let me know if you would be seriously interested in something like this, I would supply the bracket, mounting hardware, and possibly belt and pulley depending on what all is needed to mount this successfully. Should run under $100, you would of course supply the compressor.
