Thanks for the kind words! I too got frustrated at looking all over 3 different forums for a solid answer, so I decided to take action into my own hands! I was seriously about 10 minutes from just slapping on the SR compressor, and heading to a Freightliner dealer that our shop deals with to get the lines made up...

There are 4, however I'm only utilizing the top 2 for now. The original 4 bolts only engage the bracket by roughly 1/2" inch, so I decided to make the relocation bracket out of 1/2" steel. Being that I look at and deal with big truck and general cars/trucks daily, I made it a point to check out other systems on how they were all mounted. I concluded that by using the 1/2 steal, and tapping it for the compressor mount bolts, would be more than strong enough to hold the AC compressor up there and while engaged.

I will however be dipping into the idea of making a lower one as well when I have more free time.

Unfortunatly no. I got fed up with seeing threads on F/A about 'custom brackets' being made for 125 dollars, and another member pawning their custom billet ones, so I took a few measurements and went to town. To be honest with you, it was a first time fitment go for me, so what you see is also the prototype

I'm S13, so maybe I'm just misunderstanding a logistical issue of some sort? But I used all stock SR parts and just had custom lines made so I had more flexibility in my engine bay.

That bracket is so simple, yet damn slick, good job codyace

As I said above, I was seriously walking to my car when I saw the piece of steel sitting there...it was like a sign or something!

Thanks for the props too...In our garage we've got a little saying for stuff like this: "No use re-inventing the wheel".

I can't remember 100 percent for sure on the total bracket size, but if I had to estimate, it is between 4.5"/4.25" long, by about 1.5" tall....The holes are 3 5/8" apart for the main mounting points, with 2 bottom ones being roughly 1" down, and EXACTLY 1/4" to the front...

As for the bar of steel itself, I just took the edges of it to the grinding wheel to smooth them out and finish it.



I hope this helps for you guys! Now you have no excuse to cruise around with your windows down and your chicky wondering why your car doesn't have A/C hehe....
