My system is going to be the complete Rennaire kit with Desert Duty condenser, except that I ordered the "Jim Sims pro-cooler" to try instead of the pricier option from Rennaire. I'm hoping to get a good leak free system (and using the Nylog goo) and will try and stick with R12.

I removed the front factory condenser this weekend- do you think all of the DD condensers are shipped with bolts too short, or will I need longer ones also?

Thanks

Rick, happy to work out a deal with you on borrowing the vacuum pump. I'm in Roswell. The issue with the bolts is this. There are two bolts on the passenger side and one bolt on the driver side. Due to the thickness of the DD, the cage drops down leaving a gap between its mounting tabs and the tub. The kit supplies washer spacers but they are not thick enough. I used addl washers to close the gap. I was only able to use one of the supplied bolts on the pass side as the other was obstructed by the crash bar....so I only used one bolt on that side. The drivers side is where the supplied longer bolt is too short....you will need to pick one up at the hardware store that is 1/2" longer. IIRC is is an M6 bolt and you will need one that is about 1- 1/2" long.
