Hory but it works. Tidied up wiring etc since photo.
Air compressor would ridiculously hot after a couple of tyres and the case it came in was one of those once un packed you'll never repack the same again.
So....
2 x 12v 0.5a fans
2 x led daytime running lights
1 x Repco twin head(aka projecta typhoon) compressor
1 x transport crate.
At ambient temp of 13deg c the air compressor runs at a temp that you can touch after inflating 4 x Kumho 265/75/16 tyres from 10psi to 50psi.
LED lights are there for gauge reading and check for under body damage after a trip.
Highly recommend it to anyone with a air compressor that runs fuggin hot! (Might last a bit longer)

i found they have a restriction on the outlet which causes most of the heat. they may have fixed it with other brands but its worth checking.

Re: Have you got a hot 12v compressor?
I have one for pumping up my tyres, it gets really hot at the fitting and even the air hose close to the compressor gets really hot. When mine is hot I leave it out of its bag afterwards and away from everything else till it cools down.
