VIAIR 250C-IG Compressor

WildStang also used the new (Viair look alike) Thomas compressor. We liked it but it does not have a mounting flange or hardware. We considered that using any of the hardware on the compressor to mount it likely violated the "do not modify" rules so we made a custom bent aluminum tray for it. (Look for a change in the future.)
As pointed out, the Viair compressor comes with a stainless steel hose that is required by the manufacturer and so is required by the Q&A.

This compressor? We used it this year. Great for weight savings and cfm is alright, but it really, really likes to heat up. We thought we'd give it a try after 254 used it last year.

The leader line actually looks quite useful. This year we had a few pneumatics leaks and didn't realize until someone pointed out the compressor has been running like nonstop. Eventually the hose off the compression had melted down a little and make the leak much bigger.

When we purchased our 215 Thomas compressor, it came with a large U-shaped bracket and a rubber mounting gasket. We replaced the bracket with large hose clamp. We placed the clamp around a frame member and tightened it enough to where a student couldn't rotate it in the rubber gasket. It never moved after mounting.
