There is the rubber over the top that is pre mounted.. I think probably to better route air and stop anything flipped up over the top from falling into the condenser... Then there is the rock guard that will bolt to the front that I guess I have to custom cut...

Yes, I'm talking about the rubber over the top. Mine is hanging by a thread. I'm assuming that I can just cut it off.

Thanks Griff :) didn't get any pictures today and now I'm cleaned up, don't want to go back out to the garage .... Got all the hoses mounted, got the evaporator box all assembled and plumbed. Trying to get it all put back together...
The one hose clamp closest to the evaporator on the line to the drier was darn near impossible to get in ... Should have done that when I had the suspension out a few months back! Now having a devil of a time to get the skid plate realigned..... Took a break from that to start in the compressor... Having a hard time getting 6oz of oil in there ... It fills *really* slow.. like so slow I'm thinking I'm doing it wrong... I'll keep at it though.... Despite doing the project the ADHD way it's been fun (and frustrating).... Hopefully one more weekend will do it. |
I used a syringe to add the appropriate amount of oil to my system.

You mean the one near the brake line "T" adapter. Can't say it is impossible to put back on because we, and many other clients, have taken them off and put them back on. I say the Carrera alarm horn is more of a pita. Generally speaking, on a 5 hose stock 911 or 930, the R&R time to remove old hoses and put in new hoses, from start to end (meaning you put your tools away and inspected everything) is about 8 hours on the ground with jack stands .... after you have done it once before :>) Quote:

However, I generally find if I read the instructions a few times without the booze before I start the project, I can envision the task, gain some confidence, and have a higher success rate; but that is me. |

I read most of the individual directions several times before starting - even if I didn't follow them exactly.... partly why I jumped around - I read something I thought I could get done in the time frame I had... :) |
I did that job with my car on jack stands. When time came to put the belly pan back, I used a small hydraulic bottle jack to help me push everything up, including the sway bar mount.

We could write the most concise instructions in layman's terms in easy English,
We could make the most detailed video with power pointish presentations as well, and you know, at sometime some someone will come up with the "ya know, the instructions are too long", "ya know, 'drier should be spelt dryer" . Yah know? I lost count of how many different electrical "enginears" advised me my electrical schematics needed different symbol; depends if they went to MIT, UCB or Stanford. I can't count how many times I've preferred the innate inborn genetics we got, that whispers " heck, I don't need directions "; are we copying our Dads showing us how they did not need the instructions for our Erector sets? And, remember these cars were literally hand built; many times I find the 3 screw holes for the front condenser to be off a few millimeters; AC was an after thought heroically pressed by the Marketing Dept. As long as you are having fun. |
Having been through this, I can tell your instructions are among the best and fully detailed instructions I have ever seen. I used to work in technical documentation and I know how good or how bad a documentation can be.

I agree with the previous posters that the instructions are excellent... I'm just a bit non-linear sometimes.. most likely made it harder on myself, but that's my penalty to pay... no complaints about the way it *should* be done... :) |

I’m just finishing up my retrofit Griffiths system. Front, rear condenser, pump, evaporator, hurricane fan, condenser fan. Waiting on Griff’s fan variable fan switch. He builds them in block of (?) and by the time he sells the last unit, the detail parts aren’t available anymore. Forces him redesign. I’m not sure where he’s at. I saw Joe’s SPAL blower, and had to have it. Currently fitting it, waiting on the front seal for the intake. |

On a previous topic of why the long bolt was used for the upper support bracket on the smaller Duehl Kuehl in front of the LH rear tire. Its goes back to keeping things simple. Its and existing thread hole in the tub! Why make another? The bolt came loose? It was either under torqued or the nylok nut in the fender well was severely over torqued. Good Job! Other: On the variable fan speed controller. Yes, we build them in lots. Usually enough for 2 years stock. And, with the changes from solder through hole components to surface mounted, things get discontinued. So, when the manufacturer says they have an "equivalent" surface mounted replacement, well, its not always the case. Hence you have to build a new prototype circuit, run it through the tests, beat on it, reprogram the microprocessor (the good, the bad and the ugly IC) and so forth. Then you come up with a new bill of material (aka BOMP), re RFQ, source, build more units to test, beat on and possibly do it all over again; answer the phone, take out the garbage, ponder why your draw is now a hook and your fade is an ugly slice, etc. |

installation points are so simple you could remove it and never know it was there. Yeah, you got 1 extra fastener holding the lower LH rear fender and lower valance seam together. Frankly it was needed.

I suppose you could try and drill a new hole near where the electrical goes through and send it up there - but you'd have to remake the hose as it would be too short, and the routing once in the engine compartment would be a bit funky... This routing uses the same hole up through the firewall as the old hose. If you wanted an even longer path, you could go up and over along side the hose to the other condenser and then loop it back up to the hole....
