So Wooley the CKMTA12 fits under the bonnet of a 150 which has a decent sized aux battery? I'm impressed.My 150 build - http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?27423-A-Random-approach-to-a-Bluestorm-150-GXL-D4D-automatic

I cant help anyone with a drawing of the bracket but here is some snaps of the one I made. There are 3x M8 studs poking out of the drivers side wheel arch right next to the brake booster on a GXL D4D. I removed the air box to allow easier access. Finished up it fits neat as a glove.
The bracket is a bit rough looking because I had to chop/change/drill to get it right. I originally intended to use it as the test mule and then make another however you can barely see it when installed and its plenty strong so its gonna stay in service.
FYI I am a mechanic not a welder so please bear this in mind with my ally welds LOL!

Here with the comp mounted
Bit of a bugger to get to the rear nut when the compressor is mounted but its doable.

Richo.
Here's a picture...
I will post up a for sale thread today hopefully and should have pricing in the next couple of days.
While it would have been possible to get a twin to fit it was decided against in the end as it would have been tight and a very awkward install. Not to mention all the extra work to accommodate 1% of the market...
