86 XJ6 compressor bracket
I have a 1986 Jag XJ-6 that I recently had a new compressor put on.
After a few months of it working fine, the clutch failed rather dramatically and now it will need a new compressor (again).
In the process of (carefully) driving it home, the vibration was so bad that it literally vibrated the bolts out of the compressor brackets and dropped the compressor on top of the alternator.
Normally that would only be a moderate inconvenience... but the front compressor bracket apparently completely vibrated off the car - as in... its GONE.
This is the little triangle shaped bracket that goes from the bottom front of the compressor to the top of the alternator bracket.
Is there anyone out here that would happen to have one laying around that they could trace out and fax me or email me??
I have no doubt that I could fabricate the thing fairly easily, but I know that the bottom mounting hole is slightly off center and alignment matters.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
On a side note...
has anyone had any problems converting these to r-134a?
