Vacuum bagging system recommendations
In the shots you can also see that I mounted the pump on some solid rubber mat to keep the vibration down to a minimum. I also mounted the entire system on the solid mdf and screwed 8 rubber feet on the board.
The end caps on the tank are schedule 40 and the tank body is schedule 80 pvc. I mounted the 'tank' to the board using some 1 by stock that I cut to form a saddle so it rests in there really nice. I then epoxied the tank to the saddle and screwed the saddle to the base from the underside.
I have since cut two handles in the base so I can pick up and move the entire contraption with ease.
It shouldn't take more than 3 or 4 hours to assemble your own system once you have all the materials together.
Special thanks to Luvara racing and Gordon McSomething or other for help with locating some of the materials to complete this project.
