At 300 psi what kind of hoses would I need? Will rubber hoses handle 300 psi? I guess whatever hoses come through the firewall would be the same for the condenser???? Even so, for the life of me I cannot think of where to mount a condenser other than to cut a hole in the piece that is below the radiator on the '29, but then with a dropped axle there is not room there either. Suggestions (other than to forget the AC)?? What model AC condenser should I look for? Maybe since I have the Brookville flat-type A-frame with a U-shape frame around the back of the rear pumpkin, I could hang the condenser from the underside of the frame in the rear, but that means very long hoses. Still maybe that is the ONLY way to mount a condenser on a very crowded A-frame?

Have seen em mounted under the passenger side floor board with an electric fan and ya gotta use a/c hose, you can buy it by the foot and also buy the fittings from most good auto parts stores. some parts stores will even build em to your specifications......
