Default 455 HO top A/C "V" shaped bracket

Wanted to buy: 71 455 HO top rear A/C bracket ("V" shaped) made to clear the heat riser duct on Ram Air with A/C cars. These were reproduced years ago, but as usual, I'm late to the game.

Please PM me if you have one you would sell. I check my PMs often.

Thank you

Jason, I think I have one of these. I parted a 71 T/A w/AC and saved a lot of the various brackets. I will try to find it when I go down. What are you building a motor for?

I'm thinking this is the bracket you need. I don't have one, just posting the picture for you.

It's been a while since I looked at the one on my 1971 Trans Am, but I don't think either of those are correct for 455HO. I believe the factory took a standard bracket and modified it. If nobody has a picture of one handy, I'll try to shoot one on my next trip to where my T/A is stored.

The repro's that Barry Martin had stamped out are very close. Have the original going back on the T-37's engine,
& picked up a repro rear bracket for the '72 T/A. Hopefully, Barry still has a few, believe they were around $175 a year ago.
