RE: BMW AC Retrofit bracket.
I ordered 5 of these. All of them were warped and didn't set flush on the block.
I think Blunt is in the works of a bracket for use on an updated compressor.
I maybe going down Jay Stratton route if blunt doesn't get these wrapped up.

I might just end up using the old one, it still works but it's loud and causing vibrations!
The car’s fender is finally fixed (will upload pics shortly). It is getting clear bra on the hood and new fender, ceramic on the glass, a couple other goodies, then should be home this week

I finally gave up on it and have gone back to the original AC compressor, which i sent off to be rebuilt (just got it back). Will share more info on that shortly.
