Ken,
In your post of 24 October, you mentioned that you had installed air
conditioning in your 360. Can you tell me how you went about it, what
components you used, and how it all worked out? I imagine you used bits
from a small car. Which did you choose, what did it cost, what did it weigh
etc? After my first Texas summer, it sounds like a REALLY good idea, if it
is practical. Also some photos for Marv's gallery would be ideal, if you
have them.
Thanks
Jerry Fisher
Oh Heck! I forgot to take pics during my recent annual inspection. I will try
to explain:
The evaporator is located up front where the header tank used to be.
The condenser is located behind the passenger seat. It is fed with a NACA
scoop under the pax seat and an exhaust about 16 inches behind the entrance of
air. I will try to get some pictures of the belly area next week. I
purchased the condenser from an aircraft A/C company in Ft. Worth. All other
parts were provided by Vintage Aire here in San Antonio, TX. The system works
superbly, even on a 100 degree day in SAT.
