Update: done but ain't pretty Posted by crawdad [Email] (#1867) [Profile/Gallery] (more from crawdad) on Tue, 11 May 2021 19:35:38 In Reply to: Installed exp valve just to see, crawdad [Profile/Gallery] , Wed, 5 May 2021 20:25:40 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
While waiting for the Nissens evaporator, I thought why not go for broke and see if this thing can really be installed. It took a lot of tweaking to get it just right and each time assembling it all again to see if the pipes fit square into the expansion valve. I must have bent the adapter/extension ten times (with expansion valve attached - thanks to Bernie). Finally, added the O-rings and bolted it up. Just can't close the clamp on the firewall holding the pipes. And evaporator's cover doesn't fit well anymore; there's about 3/16" gap which I'll have to fill with some butyl tape. And the fan controller heatsink on the evap doesn't jut out as far as the original so carving of the cover is necessary to get the controller to sit flat. Other than that...
It would've been easier assembling each time with the cat removed but, I don't know about you, but I like my can of worms one at a time.
