I finally installed my Master Flow MF-1050 air compressor.
The following is a discription of the installation and pictures. I hope this will help all of you that are interested! This picture shows the hardware needed for the installation. here's a list of the item's needed: (1) 4- 1" x 1/4" bolts (2) 8- 1/4" nut's (3) 4- 1/4" lock washers (4) 8- 1 1/4" x 1/4" washers (5) 2- electrical washer connecters (6) 3- 3/4" hose clamp hangers (7) a tube of clear silicone (8) 1/4" drill bit |
I hope there is more to the pics and description

Man thats Leet!! Glue and some washers and POOF! Air compressor! Youre the McGuyver of the H3 world! Woot! J/K Wheres the other pics??
|
I'm at work! cut me some slack.
Eventually the post will be complete. |
It might be easier to make a photo album you could set it up than list once
|
First, set the compressor on the fuse box to get an idea where to mount it. then pull the fuse box cover, set the compressor on the lid and mark the holes to be drilled.
drill three 1/4" holes.(see pics below for reference). Note that only three mounting points are being used due to fuse location. |
Im gunna tell your Boss your playing around on the Computer Wait, are'nt you the guy who always says, "I should of worked at Capitol One." I kid, I kid. No Really, you should make a photo album..... For me too poop on!
All kidding aside. I want see more pics! This looks like a cool mod!!! |
Notice the inner and outter front washers, cut and filed. use some clear silicone on the inner and outter washers to keep water out of the fuse box.
|
You sure did put some thought into this. Looking good so far.
|
This is a close-up of the mounting hardware.
|
When moving the mounting brackets on the compressor I rotated the housing/cover so that the side that has no vent's faces down. I also adjusted the air guage so that it faces up.
It's a pretty tight fit but is the best place to mount the compressor. And yes, I do reattach the battery box vent tube! |
Hard wiring.
I did'nt remove the battery post nut's, I added a 1/4" nut on top of the existing nut. make sure you leave enough wire so when you remove the fuse box cover you have a little room for play. |
First of... awesome job so far!
ok here comes the questions... 1. edited... saw your updated pics... LOL 2. briefly explain how this will work. will it be manual as in, when you are ready to air up, you pop the hood, turn on the compressor, hook up the airhoses and pump away? thanks |

quick question again... does this model compressor originally come with a cigarette lighter attachment? |
I did'nt have enough time to run the air hose, I'll post info w/ pics with-in the next few day's. "AIR ON"
|
Very cool. Great job and thanks for sharing the info and pics.

I will run a 3/4" air hose 6 1/2' long (p/u from a local hose and fitting outfitter) from the compressor down under and along the inner frame rail to the center of my H3(easier access for airing up all four tires). |
