Anyone have a link to a write-up on fabbing a York bracket?

I plan on building a York setup on my 4.0 swapped CJ, and need a link to fabbing a bracket, as I really don't want to give Kilby over $100 for something I can fab at home. I"m using a 94 Wranger engine with no AC, so the bracket will be for that. Anyone have a walk-thru or any idea on how to do it? Thanks in advance.

I made on to sit on the platform where the AC would be if it were there. Could take a few pics or measurments if you needed them. I used this link for a template: http://www.jedi.com/obiwan/jeep/pics/yorkbracket1.png

Yeah, thats where I kind of figured on locating mine was where the factory AC would be. Does anyone know if the factory AC compressor is worth a crap as an OBA compressor? I can get factory 4.0 compressors all day long cheap, and if they are a viable solution I might do that. Also, would you be willing to build another and sell it to me? I can't really get a great idea by the drawings, and if I don't know exactly what I'm doing when I start something it ususally gets completely messed up.
 
Not hard, couple pieces of plate and some angled supports, something like this.

Bottom mounts to your AC bracket, York mounts to the side. Use the hole measurments from the template.

Yeah you can use the factory Compressor. Probably would need to put an oiler and a seperator on it though. Would it preform like a York, probably not, but would it inflate tires?, sure.
