air con???

[Dan72]

Have what looks like air conditioning connection pipes in the engine bay. Under the dash board is a blower unit with the other end of these pipes. Anyone ever come across this??

[Dan72]

The page cannot be found

 

[Dan72]

Hmm, so how do I get the pics onto here??

:?

You need to upload them to a photohosting site like Photobucket - once you've done that you copy the link below your pic and paste it into your post after you've clicked the button above...

;)

I uploaded them on muchos. I got the code but it only displays the link in the post

:?

Pop the link on here and I'll do it for you if you like

These are just resting in the engine bay. Not connected to anything

you dont often come across those, missed a complete one last year on ebay....

do you have the exhanger underneath still?

 

[Dan72]

I will have to have a look. I do know there is a square shaped box underneath with what looks like two metal vents on it. Im sure I saw the pipes leading into it. Does that sound like the thing??

thats it now you just nned the compressor and your ready to go....

Blimey.

Is the compressor a rare thing to find??

I debated ripping it all out but it looks kinda cool

 

[Justin & Muttley]

I'd be very tempted to keep it and try to get it running - it's certainly a rare accessory to have working!

It might be worth showing it to an auto air-conditioning engineer to see what it needs (you may be able to fit a later pump, for example) - ultimately if it looks like it'll cost a fortune to re-commission then you might have to pass it on...
