Thread: air conditioner evaporator

Tweet

Gary,
I used a pair of "U-Bend'Em" lines from VA - http://www.vintageair.com/2012catalo...Page%2072).pdf in the 12" length, female to male to extend the connection points. My bottom line runs out and sweeps up about 3" to 4" before laying over to horizontal along side the radiator; and the upper drops down 5" to 6" before sweeping back parallel to the bottom line. Both are clamped tight against the side of the radiator outer shell using a piece of aluminum strap and some pieces of rubber to cushion the clamp. Mine hide behind the splash apron, and transition to flex lines up to the compressor (top line) and another to receiver/dryer that I mounted along the passenger frame rail. I tried to take a picture, but since I painted the front of the radiator, condenser & exposed lines flat black (something I'd strongly recommend to you, BTW, just for appearance) it is all but impossible to see them behind the grille. I'll look through the pictures of the build to see if I can find anything to show what I'm talking about.
