Looking at 69 AIM C60 D2 #4 ( 3925744) bracket. I have been trying to find this bracket for a looooooog time. My 69 P&A shows the # as rifrig. control valve bracket, so the bracket was available. The problem I am having is that the picture shown of the evaporator assembly and view A ( C60 D2 ) cannot be correct. If you tighten screw #1 you would crush the tubing.
My solution?
I need some help from someone that would take some pictures of the bracket in question and some dimensions.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

I'm not seeing how #1 screw would crush the POA valve hose aluminum tube. That screw goes thru the #4 bracket you are missing directly into the shown plate which is part of the "suitcase" assembly. The two brackets are butted up against the other. The main diagram is a little misleading, in that the exploded view sort of makes it appear that the tubing is sitting between the #4 bracket and plate on the suitcase, but it actually goes up and behind the plate on the suitcase, out of the way once you fasten the two brackets together with the #1 screw.

Have you tried this place? They also sell on eBay and seem to have the best availability of first gen AC parts. Might be worth a call.

Using 69 AIM C60 D2 .
If the tubing is bent after bracket #4 as shown in main diagram you can not move tubing in enough to get the bracket on. Now if the tubing is bent before the bracket as shown in view A the tubing crosses the bracket at about 30 degrees. When you try to install clamp #5 it has to be distorted to install over pipe as shown. The case I have does not have any threads cut into the hole of the plate that #1 screws into.
Looked at all his finished BB units but none of them have the tubing or bracket. 68 BB tubing is impossible to find.

I am beginning to think that the bracket in question was never factory installed.

X1169,
Thanks for the pictures, If you do not mind, did you or someone else do the restoration of of the AC?
The 2nd picture shows the bracket ( just above the expansion valve ) in question on the end of the POA input tube assembly, even though it is not positioned or look like what is shown in the 68/69 AIM C60 D2. If possible could you take more detail pictures of that bracket and how it is mounted to the case?
The 1st picture shows some good detail of the gold colored bracket ( 1 of 2 ) that support the POA valve that is partly shown ( AIM ) but with no detail.
Good job, thanks again for the pictures.
