wiring up permanent air compressor
I'm new to automotive wiring,
I've picked up a TMAX Taipan compressor and I want to mount and hardwire it in. Does this sound right,

I find the cigarette lighter is perfect power source, its fused already ,only works with ignition on or on accessory & is fairly accessible to tap into.
