544 a/c install 444-544 1962

First a big Thank You to those who responded to my post. Finally found an a/c unit that fit under the dash. Turns out that a Vintage Air Gen II Mini a/c heat and defrost unit will fit without disturbing the hood latch or cutting the battery box. The condenser that will fit in front of the radiator measures
10" x 18". My last issue is finding a compressor bracket. There are a few posts that refer to Bob Foltz as a source. Does anyone have current contact info for him or a used one for B18 motor.

    FYI, if your 1962 544 didn't originally come with a B18 and still has the early style of hood where the hinges rotate down into the engine compartment, Bob's bracket won't work because the left hood hinge will hit the compressor when it is closed.

        The engine isn't the issue, which style of hood hinges you have can be the issue!!
