engine driven compressor

Is it possible to run an engine driven compressor with a v-belt? Is anyone doing this?

Re: engine driven compressor

did you make your own bracket? I bought a York kit but it didn't come with a mounting bracket.

Re: engine driven compressor

I couldn't find anything on the Kilby website. I guess I'm going to need to fab something.
