Hi David,
Thank you - we did consider a different transmission but refurbished the existing one for the moment. I will try to get the photos of the A/C installation, There have been some modifications of the ventilation system necessary such as relocation of the air vent lever and hazard lights switch that both reside under the dash centre and on the transmission tunnel so that the unit can fit in. I have attempted to attach a photo of the A/C unit in situ to illustrate but I don't think it's working.
Attachment 1859

EDIT: Not sure what happened there John, but I have added the photo - see below. Kevin.

Please keep trying with the AC pictures. Where did you relocate the hazard switch? It looks as if there might be room to put it on the front of the gear selector cowl.

Useful picture, thank you. It would be really handy to have a picture of where and how the A/C compressor is mounted on the engine if possible, please.

Here are some pictures from my Bristol factory installed AC system.

Hi David,
I’ll eventually be able to post some photos but the problem is that the car is over 1000 km away so when able, I’ll get some pictures onto the forum. Sebastian Gross (Bristol specialist) is currently working out where to relocate both the hazard lights switch and the air vent selector as both of these have to be moved.
