went to pump tyres up on lux and blow me down my compressor running making no pressure. so spent the rest of the day fixing that had a spare 40L tank too so got that all plumbed in so got 80L res now. bit that was broken on compressor was the rubber gasket thing that operates the pressure switch. blow a hole in it. lucky I had a spare 2nd hand pressure switch and while I was at it I decided to get rid of all the air leaks.

Made up a shovel holder to mount the shovel on the back next to the hilift jack.

Was actually harder than I thought getting it all sitting correctly. It sits a touch higher than I would have initially liked but at the end of the day it's lower than the hilift.

Used some 4mm plate and some tube I had lying around along with two old bed head mounting star screws. There is a brace on the back side to prevent flexing. Just needs a lick of paint now.
