That's the problem with using a pump of a PT. It's got a transverse mounted engine so most of the brackets are different.

So here are a few pic's I took today. After some testing I can air up my 35X12.5 from 8 psi to 30 in about 1 minute and 30 seconds at idle. It would be less if someone gave her some gas... :mrgreen:

The switch is set to turn on at 80 psi and turn off at 120 psi.

I have the ARB air lockers and the larger of the two ARB compressors mounted under the hood on the left fender and no tank. I am running 33x12.5x15 aired down to 8PSI off road and it takes me about 2.5-minutes to air up each tire to 26PSI after. Haven't timed it exactly but if I count to 90 and then check I have usually gone from 8 to 22, then another minute to get it right with filling and checking.

Also a former Navy diver and don't like having HP air where you can nick a line, punch a tank, or knock a manifold. I like not having a tank on board.
