How did you attach the duct to the roof? I saw where you'd used nutserts for the evaporator bracket, but didn't see how the duct stays up there.

Thanks Steve .

There are two Nutserts on the angled brackets that the old roof lining attached to above the back window (chrome bolt heads exposed), two Nutserts in the main roof hoop above the B-pillars (bolts accessed through the rear vents and interior light hole), and one Nutsert into the central roof strut/brace right at the front, which is accessed through the removable front panel.

Thank you Ranga. I don't think you could afford it . It took me, like, forever......

Hi mate - still happy with the install? If so, would appreciate the opportunity to come a have a look at it all.

I installed same unit in my 110. My install is not so neat . It works very well though. Way better than the standard air con. I installed mine just behind the cargo barrier and sitting in the front seat you would swear that the air was coming from the vents in the front. Keeps the car nice and cold even on the hottest day. If you lived somewhere really hot i would consider going the next size up as above 40c it works ok but I like it icy However mine is also too cold even on the lowest setting on warm days so you have to keep turning it off.

Hi Ranga,

Still very happy. PM me when you have a chance to come out for a look.

I'd love that, or more to the point my missus would love that, but the $ wouldn't sadly.

Found this link with comparative specs for those interested:

The other great thing about this mod is the extra space you gain in the passenger footwell and no more sloshing noises from the water that I could not get to drain out from the standard air con evaporator. It was also very satisfying pulling out that pile of junk that masqerading as air con.
