From EvaResto, ‘The Floater’ Air Ride Management install base cradle. 

Installing one of our Air Suspension kits on your car? Make the Management system install easier, with the use of one of our Floater air ride install bases. 

Conveniently mounts your Tank, Compressor(s), Manifold (if present), relays and wiring neatly, in a show car style, and safely. Easily accessible and moveable if needed, but safely fastened and secured to the body of your car. Proper ‘rattle free’ fit ensured!

Two Main types of Floater are available. Either with a 30mm fuel tank raise built in, or without. Our standalone fuel tank raisers are a popular choice for use with air ride installs, so do two jobs with one, and combine the floater cradle with a fuel tank raise…
The ‘Raise Type’ floater features holes for air lines to pass through from under bonnet area, to under the fuel tank, meaning no drilling required to safely route your air lines to your air suspension shocks/bags.

If a tank raise isn’t needed, choose the mount without the raise option. 

Secures to the body of the car by means of sandwich fit between fuel tank and body. Requires removal and reinstallation of fuel tank to complete. 

And with regards to what you need from your Floater mount, there are 4 types of cradle to choose from.

Option 1:
Single compressor, no manifold. For use with Manual style air ride management. Or use with digital, if manifold/valve block is mounted externally.

Option 2:
Twin compressor, no manifold. For use with Manual style air ride management. Or use with digital, if manifold/valve block is mounted externally.

Option 3:
Single compressor, Airlift 3P manifold mount. For use with Digital type 3P manifold, mounted directly on the cradle itself.

Option 4:
Twin compressor, Airlift 3P manifold mount. For use with Digital type 3P manifold, mounted directly on the cradle itself, between the two compressors in a super cool lifted plynth. This is the one for you show car guys! 

Featuring multiple mounting points for relays, and double holes for underside zip-tie installation (for securely tying wiring out of view), you’re able to build your system into something that looks super smart, without effecting functionality. 

Designed primarily for use with Airlift management packages, and Viair 444c compressors. Standard 4-gal tank and 444c compressor is a perfect fit, but other sizes may work with the slotted oversized mounting points.

Two halves of the Floater mount bolt together with the use of 4x M8 screws and nuts. Product is shipped ‘flat’, and needs these fixings installing prior to use.

Supplied either Raw (requiring paint) or powder-coated satin black.
