Subject:      New AC Compressor for sale for '86 Westy
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

Howdy,
I have a new in the box AC Compressor with clutch that
works for an '86 Westy.  It came from Van-Cafe.  It is
yours for $250 plus shipping.  If interested, I will
send pics so you can verify that it has the right
fitting pattern for your year.  Thanks.
