No, sorry. Anymore kits will be sold thru Slee Offroad. Call Christo as he is taking orders now. Thanks.

Did some testing today with belt sizes. Got the perfect fit. Belt runs straight and true! Cranked it up and pumped up to 125 psi in no time. It helps to turn on your A/C for the higher idle. Looking forward to many installs and write-ups!
Damn super charger!

Yea Taz that sucks to have that clump of useless aluminum in the way!
You should just take it off and send it to me for scrap. Just for your trouble, I'll send you a complete York set-up
Christo has 23 kits shipped to him so if you want one, I suggest calling asap to reserve it. Lets see some more installs and ideas on air lines and accessories.
Getting ready to start soon FB just been busy

Help - where do you get that pulley?
Got mine installed today, finally. But my pulley is sticking out way too far to work with the bracket.. in fact I've got three pulleys and they're all the same. In your pic above your pulley actually has two locations.. I need the "inside" track and I've only got "outside."
Tried it anyway, pressure got up to about 45psi then the belt popped off the water pump pulley. I've got like 2 days until I need to drive the 80 again, where can I get one of those fancy pulleys? Or any other ideas for how to move the whole compressor "back" about an inch?

Go scrounge around junkyards till you find one. I pulled a york off a late 70s diesel mercedes with the exact same pulley and a working clutch... it took forever to find but the compressor seems to be in great condition.
I think I'd try to find a two "track" pulley before modifying the bracket. Try NAPA. They had a bunch of YORK parts in their catalogue. Or as NaterGator said: try a junkyard.
Any clearance issues when used with a dual battery setup?
As my local junkyard dismantles and catalogs EVERYTHING; does anyone have a year/make/model they got there compressor off? I fear thats the only way ill get my hands on one.

I went to Napa today to see if I could just get an off the shelf "double pulley." Yup, $140.. comes with the clutch and the bearing. So I'm back to scrounging one up... if someone had laying around I'd be glad to take it off your hands?
Just what I needed Nate, much appreciated

EDIT: Still curious about clearance issues on a dual battery setup.

Digging this thread up again.
David, I bought one of your brackets from Slee. It is built well and the pulley went in w/o any drama. I have a few Q's though:
I decided to do a prelim. fitting (I don't have pressure switch/manifold/pop-off yet) but I had a few setbacks. The rivet for the engine ID tag that the bracket goes over: did you intend for it to be cut/ground off? I tried (although I gave up early) to get it off to no avail, and it seems like it will push the bracket about 1/4" off the motor? Second, the smaller dia. bolts seem to be too long to secure the bracket to the rear portion of the motor? I get about 1/2" of thread left when they stop going in. Is this intentional?
I got 8 washers, 4 locking washer for the compressor and 4 regular washers. I figure that with 4 washers for the engine side of things at least one of these 'clearance' issues I'm having is not intentional. So what ought I do? Nibble off the rivet and get shorter bolts for the rear part of the bracket? Or am I supposed to shim off the bracket with washers?
Thanks,
-----Nate

Ok, update time.
I guess those rivet looking things for the engine plate are actually threaded. I grabbed the one with my pliers and was able to back it out. I bolted up the bracket but I couldn't get the lower/smaller bolt in, so I stacked that washer on top of the rearmost smaller/high bolt and secured the bracked with 3 bolts. It seems sturdy enough as is, although the hole for the remaining bolt is offcenter, so if I want to use that bolt I'm going to have to drill press a new hole.
Bolted the york up and the pulley on it looks like it lines up 100% perfectly. I tried to jolt/jarr it around and it seemed sturdy, so I'm pretty confident in using 3 8.8 bolts to hold the york and 3 10.9 bolts to hold the bracket.
I'll snap some pics when I get the various parts from kilby and finish the install next week

Sorry Nator. I just saw this post. E-mail or pm is the best way to get in touch. When I built the brackets, I didn't have the tag on my truck. Didn't know it existed. On that lower bolt, have you tried having all bolts loose to get them started? On the lenght of bolts, I just ran down to the local hardware "ACE" and got bolts that are the correct lenght. Oh, by the way, get a hand throttle from Christo. You will love it!

David,
Not a problem, I'm not rushing! The tag thing isn't a big issue, I think it is a serial number plate. I just took a knife and pulled it off, stuck it in the glovebox, and unscrewed the rivets with a pair of needle nose vice grips.
I figured I could go to the hardware store and get shorter bolts, I was just wondering if it was intentional and I should be shimming somewhere. I put it on for real now and I see that it wasn't. I did try keeping the 3 bolts loose and jigling the bracket to line up the last bolt, but it's a no-go. It looks like the piece was welded just a little bit twisted counter clockwise; not an issue though because the bracket is definitely on there tight as heck without it. If I cared I would drill the hole bigger, but I'm not worried!
I should get a hand throttle, but I didn't think of it with my last order. None the less I'm updating on tapping into the ECU to activate higher RPMs that the A/C compressor gets when the York clutch engages. I put a belt on today and booty-fabbed up a clutch wire, the york works and makes plenty of noise and holds alot of pressure. And the bracket is holding it very securely in place.
Well done, I'm excited to get this project finished and use it!
It shouldn't. All of the mounting bolt locations are the same.
