Jock when you get around to yours please include photos of the install.

I intend to eventually do one as well but it wont be for 6 months or so.

Thanks

Yeah mate sure can, I don't have factory AC so hopefully it will fit

Bugger I don't have factory AC will it make a difference?

And just as I tracked down a good one too. Would $150 be a decent price do you reckon? Its off an old old Jeep Cherokee so the only problem is it has the double V pulley on it.

What do you reckon Dave? Will it work?

I'm tempted to get it and see if I can modify it or make a mount to fit, I'm sure someone on here will take it off my hands if it doesn't work.

I notice that it is mounted diagonally in the Jeep so I reckon it would fit if I were too make up a mount to suit

Any thought?

Thanks

should work, grab a factory aircon mount, clone the engine side of it, adapt the compressor side to suit your compressor.

pull the clutch mech off of a crashed vehicles aircon, string the belt path to work out the new belt size and your about set.

Does the clutch matter if its off a Landy or not?

Will any 6 V Serpentine pulley work?

nope any clutch setup thats eletrically controlled will work and any 6v serpentine pully will do the job.

Got one

Just trying to track down a rebuild kit at the moment

It's going to be a tight fit to get it in, but I'll do it

It's not possible to fit the upright, so I'll have to fit it on its side. I guess this can't affect it seeing as thats how it was on the Jeep

Here's the pics:

Well after much TLC (wire brush, toothbrush and petrol ) it cleaned up well. I pulled the sump off for a squiz, all looked good so I just made up another gasket and bolted it back on.

I pulled the head off, that looked good, except for a little bit of rust

It was $80 just for the gasket kit from America, so I thought bugger that for a joke. It doesn't look like its done much work anyway



I spotted a compressor at work the other day in the scrap bin, it had a serpentine clutch so I'll be grabbing that either tomorrow or Monday

Here's where it will be sitting, just have to make up a mount sometime. I reckon I'll borrow the one off dads Defender and make a slightly modified copy

I am very envious of the compressor. If only it would fit with an AC fitted!

Will keep working at getting either an endless air or retro fitting an A/C style compressor.

I have a york on the IIA, but no way it will fit on the 110 (4BD1T). I have seen an AC compressor mounted to the back of an LT230 t-case and driven by PTO. You could also drive it from a pulley sandwiched between the rear prop and the handbrake, but you would need an air tank large enough to inflate 4 tyreas at once - unless you had a divorced t-case.
