Default Need help! What do you think? (need a supercharger bracket)

Hoping you guys can give me some suggestions. I have a Vortech supercharger/blower with everything I need to install it in my GS but one thing,Bracket. The person I bought it from had got everything for it. Intercooler,oil cooler,injectors,hoses, piping,SSBOV,fuel regulator and pump,etc...BUT No bracket to hold blower. Now I called SWIFT and they said sold out everything. Then I called RMM and they said they had a few on the shelf. Wasnt sure if he could sell it and would get back to me. After waiting a few days called back and different person said the same thing. Had one but wasnt sure if he could sell it. I figured maybe because I was just some guy off the street and They wanted to save it for something else? Even had a reputable distributer of their product call for me and same thing. Not bashing RMM but a little disappointed. Would rather buy a ready made bracket then have one fabricated. My experience with shops fabricating these brackets without specs creates a unreliable vehicle. Dont want to be stranded somewhere with a frayed belt or be changing them frequently.

Vortech doesnt make a bracket for the GS.

SORRY SUCH A LONG THREAD, ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Thanks TK

I got it from a guy who had put everything together. Bought everything one by one. I believe he matched most part for part with RMM supercharger. Kid did a good job seems to be complete. Other than some piping that needs to be fabricated, nothing big. Polished it even.

Everything you see in the pic with SCE copper low compression gasket and 440 injectors for $2800. Not bad,ha.

And thanks T.L.W. for the info. That was easy he already emailed me and said he had one.

Man that easy.
