DGRR 2012 To Do List

[2gslse]

OK sweet sounds like lots of progress so far. the A/C is charged and still has R12 in it when the time comes for the A/c to be refilled I may be able to get my hands on a few cans to fill it. Should I look for the other style A/C compressor/mount?
Why A/N all the coolant lines vs just a few?

Nope, they will all need to be modified. This one wil probably bew the easiest. I'll get a pic up in here tomorrow for your viewing pleasure when it's all mounted up.

Cuz it's what the cool kids are doing

I like AN'ing all the lines. On the rear iron for the 'vert I'll take that big 5/8" nipple off and tap it to 1/2" NPT, the fitting on the rear of the iron gets drilled out and tapped 1/4" NPT and adapter fittings go on. it just makes things easier when it's time to come apart. I know, I know... you only pop the hood to change the oil... you're one of the lucky ones. I would definately AN the upper and lower rad hoses though. Weld fittings onto the rad, the lower fitting on the WP housing, and build something for the upper. No leaks, no adapters, do it once and forget it. I tried the silicone adapters and hardlines and was constantly plagued by small little leaks. Didn't spill a drop all year after I did the AN thing last winter.
