Polar Bear - AC bracket/Sanden-style compressor.

On another thread I mentioned I was waiting to hear back from Polar Bear after sending them a message re the fitment of the bracket for the Sanden-style compressor kit I ordered from them. I thought it was the incorrect bracket. In my post I indicated I was frustrated that they hadn't contacted me.

BUT I WAS IN ERROR!!! Joe, from PB had called me/left a message and I had missed it/didn't notice it in my phone log. They then sent two emails to me saying he had called and gave me a number to call him back directly, which I did this morning.

Turns out the bracket is correct, but needs two spacers for proper fitment to the compressor. Joe advised that finding a correct-sized spacer to supply with the kit has been impossible so either flat washers can be inserted to take up the space or a longer spacer can be cut to fit the 11mm (by my measurement) gap. He said that he was going to update the web page to indicate that so folks wouldn't think, as I did, that there had been an error. He was very helpful/professional and said to call him with any other issues or assistance with the installation. I was very impressed.

I'm posting this because I don't want anyone to decide not to contact PB due to my wrongly-directed frustration when I was the one who deserved the blame!

 

Here's a pic of the bracket/compressor. The gap between the rear bracket "ear" and the compressor is 11mm. Two such spacers are needed. I have plenty of suitable washers to fill the gaps though I'd rather have a solid spacer for ease of disassembly/washers falling all over the place purposes! I could just JB-Weld the appropriate number of washers together...
