Greg how is the cruise bellows in the way for plug changes or V access? It takes seconds to remove the couple bolts and take it out of the way. Sorry I don't see removing it as a "bonus" in the access/room department. I much prefer it's use when highway driving and never found it difficult to move when needed.

Ok with me, just my view.

As far as I know, mine never had one separately from the compressor. Maybe there is something incorporate into the compressor that handles it? I have nothing external.

Greg or Anyone with a Sanden conversion, how is the compressor secured to the engine block on the back side?

Was a new bracket fabricated? Is there an off the shelf solution? Thanks.

I did not actually fit the Sanden, Mac, as it was done years back before I retired. But at the back the Sanden has two lugs cast into the ally body, and these just bolt up to the bracket, which is a wide U shape (the verticals of the U fore and aft). The bracket was the basically the same as the OEM Harrison compressor used, if not, then only the rear upright of the U maybe cut and repositioned. Nothing major. Once you get the Harrison off, and have the Sanden in your hand, it will be obvious what needs to be done.
