Title: What compressor will fit a 94/95 Mustang?
Post by: 95_GT on July 22, 2015, 04:49:36 pm

Hi. Does anyone know what compressors from different makes will fit a 94/95 Mustang? The original is not working and trying to find a replacement is proving a bit difficult. Thanks in advance.

You would think that you would get an answer with all the experts on here!

AU Falcon is the exact same compressor with the only difference being the the fixed mounting bolt sleeves on the U.S. ones are longer than the Aussie compressor.

Simple fix by making two 10mm aluminium plates, with two holes in each, to fit between the bottom of the AU compressor bolt sleeves and the Mustang compressor mount.

Use your original bolts and not the shorter AU ones.

Belt length doesn't change.

Ausfox, can the difference in length be made up by adding thick washers on top of the sleeves, one on top of the other and the bolts fitted through the washers so everything is nice and tight?

As the spacers need to go between the AU Compressor mounts and the Mustang Compressor mounting bracket,
I just found it much easier to drill four holes in some aluminium 10mm  x 25 mm flat, than try and juggle the compressor, the mounting bolts and multiple washers.
