Drawing on the D1SC bracket ( L98 )
Hello. I recently got my Procharger D1SC. But i bought it from a Camaro owner. so the bracket i got is made to fit the -94 Camaro Lt-1. I guess i doesn´t fit my L98 Corvette. Do any of you got a drawing of a bracket for the D1SC that fits the L98 C4 -1985? Or can i fit the Camarobracket on the Vette?

You will either need to fab up a custom bracket or just order the proper one through ATI themselves.
If you want to have one made, you can make the template yourself out of plywood or MDF. With a little trial and error, get it exactly like you want then take it to a machine shop and have them duplicate it on a piece of 1/2 or whatever aluminum. It can be done, and more than likely you can design a better setup than ATI did in the first place.
Up to you really. I would also make sure before you go through all the trouble that the head unit that you have WILL in fact work on an L98.

I made mine by myself out of 1/2" aluminum and got a pretty good case of tennis elbow as it is not the easiest thing to do (at least it wasn't for me) to push that saber saw through that thick aluminum. If one is available from Procharger I wouldn't even think twice about ordering it.. if you don't you'll be messing around with tensioners and spacers forever in making your own set up.

The piece of crap OEM ATI bracket is a joke and way over priced $350 I think. I made my own bracket. You will need some kind type band saw to cut the 1/2 thick aluminum and a big sander to smooth out all the rough saw cut. That is when the mess came in.
To start out using a paper template and get some clear 1/4 thick clear plastic or plexiglass to cut. The 1/2'' alumimun is cost about $42 for 12x12" alumimun plate.
ps. and a buffer or polisher to make the alumimun look nice. The alumimun come in in dull finish.

I dont think ATI even makes a bracket for the D1-SC for these cars
Supposedly "They dont fit because it is bigger then the regular D1". Which is true its bigger, but Ivee seen some big azs head units under the hood
Anyways.. I think your gonna have to make your own bracket
