Re: mounting brackets for electric valves

that looks like the way to go for a manifold, the only problem is that i am running the gc extreme valves, manifolds are a cleaner look, but i came across these valves on a good deal. need pics of valves like that if anyone has one, thanks again.

Re: mounting brackets for electric valves

Mine are mounted to the inside of the frame rail in 4 different spots. It's hard to see the bracket, but basically I used some u-bolts from TSC, welded the flanges they came to a piece of 1/8 steel that was bent at 90 degrees (two per each dump/fill) and bolted everything together. I like this method better than using the bolts that are meant to hold the spools together - it's much studier.

Re: mounting brackets for electric valves

I use ASCO valves, and carry brackets for them. It's hard to see them here, but they are a nice easy way to mount the valves.
