Hi Benjamin,

So you "doubt you will find a used Tiico mount out there." Well, if you insist on
"used" I can't help you. All I have is an unused Tiico mount that I don't need
any more. A bit of explanation is probably in order here. When I received my
Tiico kit I was fully intending to use my AC and PS, but, times change (and my
plans with it). I now am not using either one.

This mounting plate has the provisions for mounting the AC compressor, the
alternator and the PS pump. I don't need a lot for it but as it is quite heavy
the shipping will be a bit.

BTW, before I changed my plans I drilled several lightening holes in it (that'll
lower shipping) and had it replated (yellow cad). It looks great. I can probably
take a pic and email it to you if you think you want to pursue this.

There are also a few "accessories" that I don't need (like the AC hose
extensions). This setup was for an '87 non-synchro. I can't say for sure that
this will work on your set-up, but it might. I'm sure I've missed some important
info but ask away.
