Re: 55-57 a/c

I was able to hang the evaporator without adding any additional holes. I ended up putting a longer bolt for my battery tray and used a nut on the inside and fabricated a bracket that tied into my windshield wiper mount.

thanks for the tip brandon.. was looking at the pics in your build thread. good info there. curious, where did you get your radiator, and are you running an electric fan along with your engine driven fan ?

Re: 55-57 a/c

I believe my radiator was from US radiator. I purchased it on Ebay and got free shipping. I'm only running an engine fan but, didn't have any overheating problems. Still need to change to a smaller fan and fan shroud.
