Default A/C and alternator brackets

Hey All,

Just wondering if this bracket kit is what I am looking for:
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...0&autoview=sku

I have an 81 vette with the stock A/C compressor, and wasn't sure if this kit would fit or not.

Are there any other brackets that will fit the stock A/C compressor that look as good or better?

Thanks,

-Chris

I originally used Zoops...had to return it to Summit..wasn't pleased with the quality. Went with March Performance Brackets.....was VERY VERY pleased with the fit and finish. I always have believed....you get what you pay for.....

I was looking at the march brackets as well but it didn't look like any of their brackets would fit the stock A/C compressor.

That was the only A/C bracket from march I could find would that fit my A/C compressor? it looks like it mounts the A/C a lot higher than the stock bracket.

Oh and what specifically weren't you pleased with about the quality, was it cheap feeling? not machined well?

I'm using Zoops for all my brackets (AC, alternator and power steering)and pulleys and the quality is perfect, no issues in 4 years. Admittedly i bought them direct from zoops and not from summit.
The brackets for AC are commonly for the sanden 508 style compressor.
