Wow AC in a Six would be perfect if it can be done and look right.

It's moving at the speed of life....

I should know better than to make plans for a full moon weekend. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)
Then it was 120F in the "workshop" most days this summer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

But I did get a nice cardboard mockup built and fitted which helped finalize the design, before all the little mods took their toll, so the pic I wanted to show off with the hoses and stuff attached didn't happen as the box just wasn't solid enough. It just made more sense time wise to move on to the production unit.

So that's where it's at. I've spent the past several weeks going back and forth with the manufacturer (in China of course) about getting an Evap to do testing with. They say it's going to take 2 months if I order 1 or 50 so I should buy 50 lol. Other thing is I don't have a running car (planned for this winter) or upcoming hot weather to test with before the hot weather.

Jist of the B and H designs are AC and heater hoses run inside the pass heater duct/long. Air inlet from drivers heater tube hole with a provision for a 5"x5" air filter (cut up home filter). Comp to Condenser hose outside the pass long as it's generally a better route to the trunk condenser. Heater valve attached to the pass stock control box and uses stock heater lever cable.

Model A also has the hoses attach on the pass side like the under dash stuff so with the possible need of a hose extension or 2 it will play nicely.

In case you're wondering, this is a half cut pointing nose up.

I'm in for a Model B.

I've spent a lot of hours looking at the under dash unit I have, trying to figure out how I could just disassemble it and stuff the various pieces and parts in the empty spaces under the cowl. . . . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)

Since I have as much free time as the average man holding back the ocean with a broken broom, prol'y easier to buy one somebody else sorted out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Obviously if it is possible to buy the parts you have fabbed to make her fit, while using as many of the parts I already have s possible, that would be just sthuper. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mrs.K.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

Almost done building my vacuum forming machine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Had to part with the off-the-shelf heater core as it limited the evap size too much, so now it's also made to spec. I've settled on an evap slightly larger than those on a Miata and Mazda3. It's also 30% larger than the dpd underdash unit.

That one (so far) heater only request will get the off-the-shelf unit laying on the bench and I'll just make a box to fit.

Couldn't get just 1 core for testing so I decided to finish V1 and install it in the car, to confirm calculations and essentially as a proof of concept. It will be a WCR15 and there will be pictures allowed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

Timeline is now a show and tell at WCR15, about a month for the GB to get an real demand figure and some funding, 2 months to get cores delivered, then it's just assembly and out the door.

Damn. Got a couple quotes to have the a/c hoses made today. $275 and $350.

If I buy the tool set, and parts online, $250.

I'm kinda obligated to invest in the tool set now. And I can use the 20 ton press for more than wheel bearings (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Hella fog light switch question. Are the new 'generic' ones the same as the originals as so the lighted knob and odd nut work?

Also, I have seen but can't find again, an insert, I recall from the vw bus, that is blue and had an air related symbol in white. If not then someone want to make a blue insert with a snowflake?

I think this is what I saw but in blue so it would light up.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www2.cip1.com-431-1428201292.1.jpg)

Stock fog switch that I think would be ideal as the a/c switch.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i272.photobucket.com-431-1428201292.2.jpg)

Or if you're not picky the generic knob probably fits. Fairly sure this one doesn't light up.

Other options???
