Record Power AC 400 air filter mounting

[cavemanalarm]

So I recently took mine apart and discovered how easy it was so my plan is to just directly bolt it to the joists through the holes for the hooks

If you can't do that for whatever reason such as joist spacing then bolt to a piece of wood through holes then attach wood to joists by having it be longer than the machine

I used a couple of pieces of roofing batten screwed into the soffit, and then fixed directly to that

Yes, that was my next thought and looked most logically

I'd be tempted to remove the hooks from the machine and place hooks outside the edge of the machine into the ceiling. Then use a couple ratchet straps slung under and around to pull it hard against the ceiling. If 1" wide straps can hold half a ton in my pickup for an 1800km drive without coming loose they will keep the filter up and out of the way in your shop. It is one of the simple ways to get maximum height under it.

Pete, that's a brilliant idea ! That brings the machine really closest to the ceiling and I could remove the handle on top too, even better ! I am looking into that today.

Thank you guys for all your ideas !
