Long story short, Picked up a CTSC with the older brackets.

Thanks in advance.

I might be able to help you... do you have pictures of the bracket that needs to be fixed/modified?

You can't contact CTE for a new bracket? (Since what was once Comptech is now CT Engineering)?

Show me better what needs to be done... i can see that the new bracket is bigger, but why and what does it connect to? What other bracket in that pic will have to be modified?

This may be out of the scope of what i have the time to mess with at the moment, and i don't have a mill here at the shop, so it may be tough to build exactly what you need... didn't realize that the bracket was like that. I may not be able to do anything with it.

Well one of them is easier, which is the alternator bracket. Connects to the alternator bolt which is used to mount the SC.

The other one is the Vtec solenoid mounting plate. That one looks like it would be more difficult to create.

Basically want to replicate the newer brackets, only the two I posted. Seems as though they just made it bigger to add more support.

hmmm ... I wonder if someone has the plotting charts/diagrams for these pieces?



If you could get those you could go to any good CNC fabrication service and have them do it much easier.


Try having that dialog with someone at CT Engineering and if they say they can't give you those diagrams ... then ask if they could source it for you.

I could probably CNC those for you free of charge if I have some scrap aluminum in those sizes, the problem is that we need someone that will loan you the actual pieces.

I cant make them from that picture, it would be a crapshoot.
