What Is THIS?

Post by erco »

Found this bracket in a big pile of parts today but I can't ID it since I parked this project car 20 years ago. Beefy and likely important.

TIA.

it is an A/C compressor brace. End with 3 large holes went under compressor mount bracket with the single hole at the coil mounting stud and the 2 bolted under the compressor bracket. the slotted hole in the end goes under a bolt on the rear housing.

Perfect, thank you TT. I bought a used AC setup decades ago but the compressor was junk. Guess I kept this part.

Who needs it?

I don't "need" it but don't want to see A/C bits disappearing either. What do you want for it? I'm guessing you don't have any of the other brackets or mounts?

Well let's see. Clark's gets $22 but they are out of stock, so suddenly my A/C bracket is worth its weight in gold, right? :chevy:

Nah, first $10 plus shipping takes. Shipping is the killer these days, this is just a big dumb piece of steel.

I'll take it for $10 and put it with my spare A/C stuff. Shipping would be to 85233 Gilbert AZ. Can you put it in a USPS flat rate bubble envelope maybe? Whatever you think is best. PM me the total if you want.

OK, you got it, Dave. Kinda busy these days so no rush is OK, right? Get it out in a week or so. Will ship at the lowest price.
