Air conditioning parts wanted please

Post by Pjr »

Hi guys,

My 6 hr blast across the country was awesome with the car running sweetly. It was a journey that I had to make, but i treated it as if I was on an extended run for fun. One improvemnt on a day like yesterday would of course be air conditioning because if the children had been in the back they would have roasted.

Ive set myself a target of acquiring the parts and installing it by next summer, and it seems the things that I definitely need second hand are:

A. Compressor mouting bracket
B. In dash evaporator unit (which i think lives between the fan and the heater unit)

Id also be interested in any other parts, but the above seem to be what I need most. If anyone has some bits for sale, please let me know.

Enjoy the lovely weather!

Phil

Ps has anyone tried having the windows tastefully tinted with a modern film that cuts the heat penetration but isnt out of keeping? Not a substitute for a/c but it might help a bit. Views welcome.

Photos please of black tints on rear and side screens .... :)

Might look good on a red, yellow or white Excel ...not so sure they'd suit blue or green, mind. :wink:

Pictures of Lola show rear window and rear side quarters tinted. Looks better in real life but I hasten to add it wasnt done by me :wink:

I have an a/c compressor sat here but none of the other parts you require im afraid.
