    Well, my ac bracket is finally made of wood, i know it took a long time, lol, but the driveshaft and leaky transcooler really thru me off track.

    It's made of wood for now (no i'm not using it, lol) but as soon as i can i'm taking it to a guy who does aluminum work.

    the bolt is taking the place of a pulley, i'll get one of those this week.

    here it is:









    i know it looks a little rough now, but it lines up just fine and will look a lot better when the finished one gets done.

    later,

    Is that bolt in place of an idler pulley of a regular pulley? The design looks good.

    it's just a regular pulley, the pulley at the top is the idler pulley, all i had to do was remove one of the bolts from the idler pulley mount and swing it upwards,
    then, i'll bolt the empty hole to the front of the bracket that is on the head.
    so, the stock idler pulley will kind of stay in the stock location, i kind of wanted to keep it simple.

    thanks,

    the final product will have rounded corners and i was even thinking of having it casted in aluminum if enuff ppl want them, of course the price would go up to offset cost of developement, but i would look real good then.

    if i can ever find a test vehicle i'll make one for the camaro front accessories, maybe lotsofhp will let me use his some day, i should be able to get it done in one day, the wood mockup that is, most ppl seem to put the camaro engine as is in their truck, i've only seen a few wanting the truck accessories.


    thanks for the compl.
