I was just looking for tips pointers pics what every you have to offer about mounting valves under the hood. I know to keep them away from heat, and shielded from dirt and water but i was looking for any other pointers.

i have mine mounted on the firewall under my hood. two valves on one side, and two on the other. If I was to do it over again, I would have mounted them inside the frame rail right under the driver side door. The valves, wires and airline dont look very clean under the hood IMO.

Don't have any pics, but mine are mounted to what's left of the inner fenders, only about 8" of airline to the bag. I have 1/2" valves and line and it's fast as hell, I can hop an inch or two with 150 psi, but it is a minitruck so there's not much weight.

i also have mine mounted on the firewall up near the cowl with the line to the rear going straight down and thru my frame. and the front frome one side to the other thru the cradle under the motor. takes some fishing to get it thru but its protected from moving parts. also put filters on the dumps to prevent rust/dust
