Finally, after finding a local guy, I'm now able to sell my custom A/C Brackets that allow S14 owners with S13 swaps to retain the factory S14 Air Conditioning Compressor and lines!
I've had the setup on my car for a while now, but made it by hand - It worked, but the brackets took forever to make. Now I found a CnC shop that agreed to make them for me!
So anyhow, here are the pictures...the final production ones will feature nice rounded corners to look all fancy, but this initial piece was for mockup and test fit.
The upper holes are countersunk in order for the bottom bracket to not hit the condenser itself. The kit will also include 4 new bolts +washers to attach the brackets to the factory brace, and will allow the use of the factory bolts to attach it as well...
Worried about strength? The pieces are made out of steel, and are 1/2 thick. I did 6 track events this season and didn't break mine or even stress it out...and I made my initial ones with a drill and tap.

And now for a picture of my initial ones installed (nothing has changed, just the countersunk feature)
