I used fuel hose clamps as when I did my project folks on Rennlist indicated the oil pressure is not high.

My hose and clamps have remained dry for several years now.

The condenser is attached to the lower body via two bolts, one on each end. You need to remove the rubber plugs from under the car to get at them.

Take it from me if... if you end up needing a compressor do NOT buy a rebuilt one! Only buy new I learned my lesson on that and its not a fun job to redo.

Now that would depend on who did the rebuild, wouldn't it? Now I'm wondering who did yours? You can PM if you like.

I wonder when the Euros changed to 134? Griffiths (who is in the business) is talking to you about 134?? So do we assume it was prior to the '92 change here? Does anybody know?

Steve,

I haven't had good luck with any rebuild units on any of the cars I service. It's just better to pay up front for a new unit opposed to a "rebuilt" unit as from my experience the "rebuilt will just cost you more in the long run.

If you have a line on someone who rebuilds them and they last please feel free to share with the list! I have tried a couple of different vendors (none here all local) for rebuilds for our daily drivers and my Porsches and have always ended up replacing them after 2 years. Anyways for me... going forward, I'm buying new!

Good Luck with what ever you choose!
