[C320-list] Adler Barbour Compressor Base replacement?

I had the same problem about 4 years ago.?? I searched around and found out that Adler Barbour does not sell the base for the older unit.? So I made my own base out of marine plywood (the plastic like stuff).? A boat mechanic told me that the marine plywood is the same stuff they make cutting boards out of and to go to bed bath and beyound.? 

So I took a couple of measurements and went to bed bath and beyond and picked up one of those white plastic like cutting boards.I spent about $15.00 and? saved about $30.00.? ?I cut it down to size and used the old base as a template for the mounting holes.? I also made four legs out of scrap so air could circulate under the base as well.?? I used new SS hardware and 4200 to mount everything.?The only challenge was building the piece to?mount the control board and fan.

It has been working great ever since.

The base to my refrigerator compressor is very corroded -- does anyone know if 
this is a part that can be replaced, and if so, how to obtain the part and how 
to replace it?  The compressor sits in the port locker and gets exposed to 
moisture...I've tried cleaning it up, but the corrosion is just getting worse 
and I suspect performance will suffer before too much longer.
Thanks,
