Default Where can I buy an air conditioner bracket? I need a whole new one.

I tried to get the broken hex head bolt out of the bracket and that hasn't gone so well. I've never had a problem like this before. I drilled the bolt and put a reverse extractor in it, and the extractor broke. I literally can't get the bolt and extractor out without ruining the hole so I need a new bracket.

Auto Zone and O'Reilly's don't carry it. Is this a dealership item only?

Most likely a dealership only item but I can almost guarantee you they won't have it in stock and they'll charge you out the *** for it. I don't think very highly of dealerships. Most of them around here aren't helpful at all and charge you an arm and a leg for everything. Your best bet would be to go to a junkyard and pull one off of an LS1.

I hate dealing with dealerships too but in this case I gotta hope and pray they've got it because I won't be able to get to a junkyard for a looooooooong time. And until then the car is torn apart.

Just so y'all know, Chevrolet told me today that the a/c brackets for our 98-02 F-bodies have been discontinued and aren't available at dealerships anymore. So from here on out it's junkyards and used.

I am pretty sure I still have one downstairs left over from my LS swap. Shoot me an email at eddiengerry at comcast dot net and I will let you know if I still have it. We just recently moved so it may have not made it over to the new house. First one to email me will be first in line.
