WTB - AC compressor brace for TPI V belt set up

I am looking for the brace for the AC compressor thet goes from the top AC bracket to the exhaust manifold stud for a TPI car with the v belts. I am pretty sure 1985 TPI cars had it - possibly 86 and 87. Let me know if you have one to sell.

Re: WTB - AC compressor brace for TPI V belt set up

I had a tough time trying to find a pic of it. I found it in someone's ad on here. Not the best pic, but you can see it coming off the top AC bracket, going down to the exhaust manifold. It looks like a piece of round stock bent on both ends with mounting holes on either end. It also might have a bend in the middle but I am not positive.

According to your picture I believe this is the one that you are requesting. The price runs $10.00 plus shipping and handling.

Thank you,

Re: WTB - AC compressor brace for TPI V belt set up

I don;t have a 85-87 TPI to compare to at the moment,..... but I think this is the right one; It's about 14 inches long. Looks like what Thomas posted above:






Pretty sure it was blasted & re-painted in the group of parts from a previous re-build, but I never re-install AC ! My most recent re-builds were 305 V-Belt.....


$16 shipped.

Re: WTB - AC compressor brace for TPI V belt set up

John - that looks like the one. I will take it. Hopefully I can get it in time to drop it off at the powdercoater with my other parts. I will send you a pm.

Re: WTB - AC compressor brace for TPI V belt set up

You are right Thomas - I did not realize it - but I could not figure it out from the picture that the curved part went to the exhaust side. John is a little closer to me in the country and I think I can get it from him quicker. I wish I could have figured it out from the pic you posted but I am not using this in a TPI application and I did not have one on hand to reference.
