[urq] 85 UrQ- A/C compressor options?

[Steve Mills]

Pat-

Thanks for the quick reply. The car has already been converted to R134, and
I have no plans to go back. I've done similar fabrication work on other
cars and can go there if it's required, but I was hoping there would be a
factory bracket that would work on the WX- the 5 cylinder was used in so
many later cars I'd hoped there would be a bolt-on solution.
