Default 63 Bonneville, Catalina A/C Brackets

At the risk of incurring the "wrath" of some who might feel I'm bending the rules ...I'm looking for a full set of 63 Big car A/C brackets. I already posted a WTB in the big car parts wanted Thread. Posting here to get a little bit more visibility.
Franks Pontiac Parts in CA has 3 of the 5 brackets ....just want to see if someone out there in PY land has a full set before buying from Frank.

Thanks for looking, Bruce
Reply or PM me if you can help :-)

Picture/diagram of the brackets attached.

If you are adding A/C to a non A/C car the brackets are only part of the problem. Most or all of the pulleys of the may need to be changed. There are often very subtle changes in diameter and offset between A/C and non A/C pulleys. Even the PS pulley may have a different offset distance.

Thanks for the input - the car already had A/C , have the correct pulleys. Need all the brackets. Thanks :-)
