How to make an accessory drive
How to make an accessory drive I'm putting a 5.3 LS from a 2003 Silverado into a '37 Chevrolet. I have a sanden compressor and no room to mount it low so I'm going to have to mount it up top. I have seen mount kits from Street and Performance and Vintage Air and these kits are extremely expensive. All I really need to do is mount my compressor, however I'm afraid there may be things I need to know before I attempt to make my own brackets.
I know I'll need a tensioner. Is there a company that makes generic tensioners I can use? Are there certain tension strengths I need to consider? I have looked on the internet and have found people make low mounts, but no high mounts.
Here's a picture of my setup before I put the body on. Could someone inform me of some basics I need to know before I start.
Thanks,
Brandon

I cut out some cardboard today. Of course it's not finished out as far as smoothing the edges, just a rough cut.
Any opinions so far on what might be good or bad about it?
