Isolate onboard Air Compressor
I needs some ideas/suggestions on how to best isolate my on board air compressor for purposes of noise and vibration reduction. I currently have my entire air control system including the compressor, tank, valve block and controller mounted on a piece of plywood. I did this to make a compact and somewhat modular unit. I will be installing this on the shelf over the axle at the front of my trunk. I am looking for suggestions on how best to mount the board to the sheetmetal in the trunk so that the least amount of sound or vibration from the compressor comes through. The compressor is mounted to the board using the standard VAIR grommets. I plan to enlose the area and am heavily insulating the panel between the trunk and the back seat.
I have thought of getting a heavy rubber mat to put between like they sell for kitchens or for standing in front of work benches. Not sure where to find those. Let me know what you have done or if you have some ideas
thanks
