Griffiths A/C upgrade

My OEM A/C thermostatic switch, i.e. temperature control, bit the dust and since I already had a small but nagging refrigerant leak, I decided to further upgrade the A/C system.
You may recall from some early postings to this thread that my 964/993 condenser is now located inside the left front fender. This setup has worked well for me on two cars for many years. But, always seeking to improve comfort and noting new well reviewed products on the market, I took the plunge and upgraded, yet again.....

- new 964/993 condenser ( old one leaking)
- Griffiths/Kuehl evaporator
- Griffiths/Kuehl thermostatic switch
- Griffiths/Kuehl variable evaporator speed controller
- Retained the front underneath condenser (without the useless fan)
- Replaced the Pro-cooler with a more traditional Kuehl receiver/dryer from Griffiths
I was surprised that my new condenser bought thru our host is slightly thicker than the old one.



The new Griffiths/Kuehl evaporator is really well made.





The variable evaporator fan speed controller is the best as now I can find a comfortable setting for all conditions.
Conclusion? A/C works much better than my previous modified iteration which was already a great improvement over stock.
It’s been friggin hot here in eastern Canada so this little mod has been welcome.
Cheers,
Johan
