I used 10 gauge wire and a 40 amp fuse but have warm wire and 1.75 volt drop at the compressor... My clamp meter shows a 29 amp draw... Guess I'll have to up it to 8 gauge

I did LOTS of wire cutting n crimping and built 95% of the wiring harness for the switch panel.. the heater mirrors are wired and functional. The mirror turn signals are wired and terminated under the steering column but I haven't figured out which wires to tap into yet.

I installed the 3 way valve under the dash and wired it to a temporary switch (all black in pic) till my dump switch arrives.
I also decided to mount the regulator under the dash and turned my 4 bank switch panel into a 6 bank.

I also took the whole air system back apart to seal everything with teflon.... The system is now completely plumbed except for my pressure switch that I HOPE will show up tomorrow..... At this point I can only find one small leak which is the temporary plug I put finger tight in the port where the pres switch goes...

Accidentally tested the pop off valve today too... I had the compressor running and got side tracked and didn't unplug it so it got above 150 psi... the pop off is set for 165 and it SCARED THE CRAP out of me when it went off.... It dropped the pressure in the 3.7 gallon tank from 165 to 80 in about half a second.....
