    Hey Guys as of 9/3/2017 I have 3 brackets cut and welded..... 2 of which are spoken for. If anyone is interested in the last bracket please send me a PM I am super busy these days and rarely monitor this thread.

    I do however get email notifications of Private Messages so if anyone is interested that is the best way to contact me.

    When the last one is gone I am not sure when I will have the time to get more brackets made up.

    Thanks

    I have one of these in my car. Best item ever. If you also buy an alternator turnbuckle you are set for life. Perfect fit with the turnbuckle the belts stay strong and tight. I recommend this part its a rock solid piece

    PMBuick,

    I am curious to know if you use this compressor on an original A/C system or with a high performance aftermarket unit, such as Classic auto air or Vintage air which are designed around the use of an SD 508 Compressor.

    Longhorn on my '65 it is a aftermarket system of my own design, but the compressor and bracket look original. On my '66 I used the SD508 and had to modify the hell out of the bracket
