So I just got in a fender mounted A/C condenser to install in the left rear fender. There are a couple things that I need some assistance with.
Does anyone know the dimensions for the bracket to hold up the rear of the condenser? I suppose I can just do some measurements of the condenser itself to see approximately what it should be, but was hoping someone could provide actual measurements.
Does the receiver/dryer have to be mounted under the fender? I'm going to be using this with a red dot evaporator, and already have a spot for the receiver/dryer inside the cab, so wondering if there is a good reason to relocate it.
Going along with the last question, the Red Dot doesn't have a trinary switch on the receiver/dryer to control the fans, on the red dot the switches seems to be built into the piping in the evaporator. Can I just run wires from there back to the fans to control them, or so I really need to buy the receiver/dryer with trinary switch and relay for controlling the condenser fans?
Does anyone have part numbers for the brackets and splash guard that goes in front of the condenser in the fender? The plastic guard has holes to attach it to the metal splash guard at the front. I looked through the parts TM and didn't find those parts (and yes, it was the newer TM that covers these air conditioner systems)
Another question, anyone know the dimensions of the cut outs for the vent, and where it's located going from the rear of the fender and the top of the fender?
I have minor experience repairing A/C systems, but none actually building them/modifying them.
