Don Coleman A/C bracket

[tr8]

I would really like to find the bracket that Don Coleman used to mount a Sanden compressor to his Rover motor.

That car was built by Fast Cars, Inc.  So, Ted Lathrop, Steve Carrick, or Terry Senneker may remember where they got it.  Possibly from a street rod parts supplier.

I expect Ted or Terry fabricated it.

There is a logo on it and now that you mention it, it looks like a Fast Cars Inc logo. I just sent them an email, will post result. Thanks

It appears to be a pretty simple part.  If you don't have luck with FastCars, use some plywood to define the shape & mock it up to determine thickness of steel needed - or thickness of steel + spacers if/as appropriate.  Then use the plywood mock-up to mark & cut it out on steel.  File/sand/generally clean up the edges & take it to a chrome shop.  Or if you're not up to cutting it out, simply take the plywood mock-up to someplace local who can cut it out for you.

Easy enough to start with a universal bracket & bend that shape, cut to the correct length, & redrill the hole (or 2).

I've found that cardboard, followed by aluminum sheet metal is a very convenient way to make bracket templates.

Just got an answer from Fast Cars, they custom made it for Don's car.
