Default New air conditioning bracket

Here is an up date on the bracket. This is a rough picture of where the bracket will end up mounting. Of course all the parts will be messaged and trimmed to fit perfect. 80% there. That will give you a general idea where it will go and how it fits. Any questions message me. It will that another few weeks and it will be finished. I have to make 25 pieces on the first run. It will come complete bracket, bottom support and all the hardware for mounting it. The only part that is not included will be the white fan belt, I am keeping it for myself. If you can give me some feedback, I would appreciate it. Also, would you want me to include the fan belt or leave it up to you. This will be for the Vintage Air Unit. Thanks, John

Sign me up for one, John. I do have one question, though. It's not obvious from your photos how to adjust the compressor for proper belt tension. I assume there would be a curved slot somewhere so the compressor would pivot. Can you clarify?
Thanks,
Ed

I am almost done just some cosmetics. The bracket will move front to back and side to side, there are slots machined on both brackets, the one from Vintage Air and the one I made. Please ask me any questions because I tried to think of any problems we may encounter. When I get the parts back from the fabricator I will tig weld one of mounting brackets on and then they will be ready to go. When all done, I will post a photo to show everything included with the bracket to make the installation easy. On one of the photos there are slots running front to back, on the new bracket they run side to side. This gives you adjustment in both directions. John

Ken, it is steal. The only reason I have to weld on a mounting bracket, there were 2 bends for mounting but the bends were too tight. They had to shear one off and that's why I will have to do the welding. The Sanden compressor is aluminum. JOHN
