Default Accessory Bracket

Well I was driving home the other day and the car started making a clacking noise. My ac compressor (new) has been vibrating, and somehow I guess it managed to crack the accessory bracket.

Have you guys ever seen something like this? The dealer said it's discontinued. Can't find any in the classifieds here so I guess I'll pick one up on ebay. They want an arm and a leg for them though.

I have one I can hook you up with. Can't say I've ever seen one crack though.

Broke mine last year at the two ears that hold the alternator. Picked up a used one on camaroz28.com for 30 or 40 bucks.

No, it wasn't. There wasn't one on the car when I bought it. I just ordered one, I just need to find out what the bolt sizes are now. Should the compressor shake like that anyway? I know gm wouldn't have put that mount there for no reason, but I've seen a lot of guys on here that don't use them.

I'm having a hard time finding out what these parts are - does anyone have an idea?



#7 and #3 - I don't have these, and I'm wondering if I should.

#3 is the metal clip for the plastic spark plug wire loom. #7 is the bracket that the battery cables is clipped to.

Ah thank's for the answers sir.

I have two more questions.. Hopefully they're not stupid.

1. Do you guys put locktite on the bolts for the accessory bracket?

and

2. Any idea where to find the orings for the power steering line that goes from the bottom of the pump to the front of the rack? I need both o-rings.

I sold him mine already, and I did not use loctite on any of my bolts and have no issues so far. Orings best bet is a dealer, or gm parts website.
