We're doing an A/C install on a 3.2 project car and I though ya'll might like to see how it goes.
First I made a rough mockup of the location to test fit the setup in the car. This is just a TINY bit too high. I need to move it down and outwards a bit to clear things.    Once I had the general location I started making paper templates of the mount. It's a bit like putting together a puzzle, but instead of finding where pieces go, you just make your own as you go along. This will be made out of 1/8" plate most likely. The three circles you see will be bolts. The mount will be two pieces -- one underneath the tin and one on top. The tin will be sandwiched in between the two.    Oh man. How do I STILL not have a CNC plasma cutter. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |
