Default Holley AC compressor bracket spacer?

I'm using the Holley alt/PS brackets, with vette damper and water pump. Just picked up the Holley Sanden AC bracket, which unlike the alt/ps bracket, requires a spacer kit when used with the Vette components. Can somebody measure the thickness of their spacer? Don't feel like spending $50. for a chunk of aluminum and a bag of bolts when I can easily make that spacer. If anyone needs this bracket, I got it from Advanced Auto for $108. plus tax, with free shipping using discount code TRT30. Strangely Advanced doesn't show the spacer kit being available from them.
TIA, Jim

I'm thinking of trying that exact bracket on my setup to get better belt contact than I currently have with my current setup. When you get it on would you mind taking a pic and showing the front setup? Hopefully someone will get you the dimensions needed. Are they not on holleys' site?

Thanks
Allen

I may have the holley ac spacer laying around. Lemme see if I can dig it up. If so are you willing to buy it?

Depending on cost, I'd definitely be interested in buying it, LMK. KY Nova, I didn't see that dimension anywhere on Holleys site. I have the engine on a stand, and will be happy to get some pics once it is all set up.

I have one laying around for the F-Body spacing. I can give you it's dimensions and you can subtract the difference for the corvette spacing.

Cool, thank you, I should be able to work with that.

My F-body spacer is 1 3/8" thick. And from what I read on the Holley site the corvette accessories are 3/4" shorter. You should be able to subtract the 3/4" from the 1 3/8" and have yourself a spacer.

1964SS, thank you very much! I'll mock it up with some 5/8" spacers and check the alignment, and then cut it out of some aluminum plate.
