WTB: LC Wylie M30 bracket

[e9Leveque]

Looking to take the AC retrofit plunge so need the bracket for the Sanden compressor. This part is sold out currently on LC Wylie’s website. I sent a message to him here on the forum but no response, so I’m wondering if anyone purchased one of these and decided not to use it.

I talked with Layne earlier this year. He is remodeling his house, and said When that settled down he would fab more brackets

As the shop is claiming it will fit M30 but also M20 motor to adopt the compressor maybe that one is worth investigating:

Interesting...I reached out to LC Wylie and will see what I hear back, especially given Scott's information above. If I download that printables file I could make the bracket it shows for about $100 in parts (cut to spec and deburred) which I would then have to weld and powder coat - both do-able but if there's already an option that works that would be ideal. But good to know there's a backup.
