One suggestion - it looks, from the picture, that you have all of the pneumatics connected to the fitting on the compressor. You might consider moving them away and using a piece of tubing to connect the compressor to the pneumatics set.

In 2013, we had just a few components connected to that fitting and we cracked two of the compressor housings. That material is cast and is thin. We went through 3 compressors before we determined the cause was the stress on that part of the casting because that load will vibrate significantly while the compressor runs.
This. There is a reason cymbals and bells are made of brass. Some brass on the compressor side is desirable for heat dissipation, but if there is a lot you should try to mitigate both the cantilevered loads, by using supports on the far end, and vibration, using dampers. Isolating a lot of that hardware by connecting it via rubber tubing would probably be the easiest.
