Have just purchased and received an air door system from Terry Tanner.
The tank is 4 inches x 6 " x 30.5 " and is made of 1/4 " plate and
weighs 41 pounds and is welded to the back bumper.
The electric compressor goes to the front of the car behind the back
bumper.
The Air control panel is approx. 5 " x 5 " x 3 to 4 " deep.
I also received 2 front load door stabilizers for the front of the door
I hope to put the system in later in the summer or the fall.
The instructions for installation are a little vague for me as I prefer
more illustrations rather than words. I hope to post some additional
questions to the group where I did not understand the instructions.
