240z AC install

Ok, we're off an running. Got myself a complete factory 260 assembly - see phots.

I dont need the 260 specific bits, so will be selling these shortly

The plan is

1. Get myself Sanden 508 off ebay and see if I can re-use the giganto- bracket. There are a couple of similar idea on the net. If that fails, I'll weld one up from the generic parts that the hot rod places sell
2. See if I fit the evaporator housing in the 240z dash. If not, I'll have to come up with a plan B

ok, lets rev it a bit

The space under the dash is extremely tight. I can see why they redesigned it for the 260 series. In summary, you need a non standard size evaporator. I've been through all the catalogues and none will fit

so i've been designing in solidworks a customer evaporator box that will squeeze in

i'll also be fabricating the custom bracket for the SD508, which seems to be the default compressor for all hot rod builds
