Re: Interest in Supercharger setup

I went over the final bracket design last night and it seems to be coming along well. We will be using the stock engine mount bracket (shaved down a rib on one side). The supercharger bracket will bolt down on top of it and have a slot for the power steering line to fit through. I really wanted a two piece bracket or to keep the stock engine mount bracket so we didn't have to support the engine every time we wanted to remove the supercharger like I have to on the TK kit. There will also be a pivot point for belt tension adjustment with an adjustment screw. The final drawing will be finished before lunch today and then they will start building 5 of them and hopefully be done in a week or two.

As far as the compressor outlet piping I may have to have a custom piece welded onto the end of the oulet so we can get it to go through the windshield washer tank hole nicely or it will just require some cutting and a 90 degree bend that will aim it down into the frame rail/fender well.
