Hello KevsDiesel...looking at your post of FEB...I'm planning to install on my BJ40 (B engine)...a Air conditioner (bought the Vintage set) and Power steering (bought the saginaw conversion kit).....I already have the 3 pulley set (original) but Im still looking for a solution for the brackets (AC and PS)......almost all are made to fit the FJ not the diesel BJ. The picture of the bracket in this thread look very nice......Any news regarding the blueprints or dimensions ?? any help will appreciate.......thanks in advance ....greatings from Panama !!!

Hey Luis, sorry, no man. I have not continued on that project for a while and have not heard from anyone about the CAD files for the brackets unfortunately. Good luck!
After a couple of hours in the internet !!!!
After a several hours in the internet , I found the PDF file of the blueprints for the bracket... but I do not know how to post a file in here....I will try to send it to you by PM
I hope it will help.
I'm still figuring out how to attached the PS pump to my B engine

Luis

Wow, that's awesome. I'll send you my email in a PM!
That's a nice alternative to the OEM bracket & idler pulley. Thanks for posting it up.

Hey KevsDieselLC, Did you ever find the CAD drawing for the 3B AC bracket? CanCrusher never responded to me did you have any luck?
@CanCrusher
That will notify him of this thread. I'm interested in the CAD file as well!

Just back to Mud after an extended hiatus, sorry to have neglected enquiries. For some reason I haven’t received any notifications until this last effort by AWhelen.
I sold the last of the extra brackets I had made almost right away. Although I thought I had saved my CAD files on a CD it seems to have disappeared! A change in computers has resulted in the loss of my original drawings.
The drawings posted by Montie appear to be a much improved modification on the dimensioned drawing that I had located on the internet and used for my brackets. The addition of the belt tensioner is far more sophisticated than the brace that I used. Having said that the brace has never been problematic.
It would appear that this is meant to mount directly on the face of the bosses on the front of the block. That was the source of a slight alignment issue. The solution was to cut the “arms”, overlap them by 1” to move the compressor forward by the thickness of the 3/8 plate and bring it closer to the block.
Because I don’t have my original drawings at hand I can’t say if Montie’s drawings have taken into account the alignment issue.
Hope this isn’t too late to be a help. I will try to be more diligent watching posts. I had actually thrown an ad up for my Cruise late last Fall but as the weather turned and our winter travel plans came into action I even failed to check on the ad (truthfully, I am torn about selling the old girl....my wife says we are “joined at the hip”).

In the shop
Just though I would add this AC crank shaft pulley is still available.
Im looking at putting ac in my bj70 with a 3b ive heard from various people that even the non ac models have all the wiring tucked away in the dash for the new controls and anmplfier
Can anyone confirm this?
Also what are people using for a tensioner as i think the original part is discontinued.

Thanks for the info. I'm building a mount for a second alternator, so I should be able to get all the dimensions i need from Montie's drawing.
Found it online, $153.80 CAD! Thats painfull for a little pulley!
FYI: if you have an earlier B-series engine, you may not have the correct crank pulley. The later style crank pulley had 6-threaded holes for bolting up accessory pulleys (ie. power steering, compressor, etc.)
Do you still have the pulley? Will it fit a 70 series?
It's still available from the dealer is what he meant , I just bought 2 not long ago
Would be willing to share that CAD drawing. I have a 83 BJ60.
I’m still debating trying a 12volt electric compressor vs trying to fabricate a bracket for a belt driven compressor. I would love a copy of the bracket cad...you can email to docsnipes@hotmail.com. I’m assuming the bracket will work on a 13bt.
Thanks
