Sail Rock 28 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Can anyone recommend a general engineering firm to fabricate a steel bracket for mounting a freezer compressor onto yacht engine? (The old one has disintegrated). Prefer someone on the North Shore or else close to CBD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Island Time 1,235 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I've made a couple, but they take me ages. What's the motor and compressor type? Here are a couple of pics of mine, VP d2-40 and sanden s8 508 compressor. Sorry on my phone right now, can't figure out how to put them upright! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sail Rock 28 Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 Yanmar 2GM20 plus an ancient compressor that still works OK. I’ll try Service Engineers, just not sure whether they will do such a small job Thanks to you all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,235 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 If your stuck, post a pic, maybe the old bracket can be copied or repaired.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sail Rock 28 Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 Hi Sabre. Attached photo of my compressor bracket that fits on side of Yanmar 2GM20. As you can see the base plate that compressor fits on has cracked right through. Does your bracket look like this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sail Rock 28 Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 How do I post photos to a post??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sail Rock 28 Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 Try this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,235 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Base plate is too light. Pretty easy to fix, make new square plate and weld it on.... Any welding shop could fix it.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
