Small AC Compressor
Assuming the dimensions above are accurate, a 7" diameter unit would reduce my allowable depth (from rear to centre of v-groove) from ~160mm to a maximum of ~120mm and that's looking a bit shaky if the dimension in the chart suggests 127mm (~5"). I'll wait and see if i get responses to my questions.
I can't find much info online about the depth of the "peanut" or "shorty" sanden compressors. Best I've managed is finding this one (SD7B10) which claims to be ~165mm. If anyone reading this has any additional info they can share please do.
If anyone thinks of any other compressors please share them with me so I can investigate dimensions.
edit: found this regarding the SD7B10 "peanut" compressor after more searching. Looks like it's around 145mm from the rear of the unit until the rear-most v-belt groove centre. That's a winner (summit).
Nice, thanks for passing that on. That is the location i'm looking to put the compressor (under a torqstorm). Im not too bothered about the brackets as I could make anything work as long as I can identify a suitably sized compressor.
Thanks! I hadn't come across these before and you might be onto a winner. I've done some preliminary searching and it looks like there are two types, the "standard" and the "light". The below is all the info i could manage to find about the AC Delco range (?), and i'm trying to confirm with summit racing if these dimensions are accurate for their four seasons unit (#58235). I've also tried emailing four seasons directly for answers.
