Chevrolet truck and suv LS engine compressor bracket kit. Convert the stock LS compressor bracket to a Sanden. The bracket will move the compressor from down low to the top of the passenger side of the engine. By moving the compressor you will have better clearance and hose access. This bracket setup is designed with the car builder in mind. The stock compressor might interfere with the frame, this bracket eliminates any fabrication that might be required. The mount plates are made of T6 6061 aluminum which is lightweight and solid. The plates are cut out with on a computer controlled, ultra high pressure water jet. All the prototypes were tested for stress and vibrations with finite element analysis. The tensioner is placed in its proper position between the a/c compressor and the crankshaft pulley in the slack portion of the belt. Belt and tensioner geometry is optimized for proper belt tension equivalent to the OEM requirements. All pulleys are aligned with each other within SAE specifications.
The bracket kit includes the following:
Front and rear mount plate for a sanden style compressor
Water pump brace
Spacers
Idler pulley mount
All mounting hardware coated with zinc to fight off corrosion and rust
Smooth pulley for use on the tensioner
This bracket kit is made in the USA. The kit requires a Sanden style compressor 508 or 709 with a serpentine clutch, LS main tensioner with six groove pulley ( the pulley will be removed and used as an idler pulley), and a six rib serpentine belt.
