I'm getting ready to install the DPD AC unit under the dash and will need to cut my console. I know there was a template in the DPD install instructions and found it on Jeff B's site but it looks like a copy of a copy of a copy that was shrunk.
Does any have a clear copy of the template? It's templates 2223 and 2224. Thanks all! |

Please share photos.
Best of luck, for me I'm taking a different, odd approach to cooling/heating my interior. I'm mocking up a system that will be hidden under the dash. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Stock side and defroster vents for air flow. Oscar |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Stock side and defroster vents for air flow. Oscar Oscar I would love to see what your planning. I don't have long legs so I wasn't worried about losing cockpit space. I relly like the look of the GT cutout on the bumper for the oil cooler and I hated the fact of having the condenser sitting on the bottom of the frunk with a hole in the floor. So I went with the GT bumper cut from Ben (bumpers getting Chromed now) and put the condenser and fans in a custom shroud. Here's a few pics showing the progress. Had a louvered pan made for the exit airflow. Added a steel tube for support due to the hole in front of the car and covered to make a shelf. Mock up of the shroud with fans. Final shroud prior to paint. Painted shroud with Cad hardware bling I updated the DPD unit and have a Sanden compressor. All the lines are custom made lengths so there isn't any slack or looping. The lines from the condenser run through bottom rail and under the tank then up the back wall to go into the cabin at the top just left of the fresh air valve. I should be getting the DPD unit installed this weekend. @Superhawk996 offered up a console that is already cut so I may just be offering a pristine console for sale in the near future. Thank you Superhawk996 you are a true gentleman! I will certainly pay this forward. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
