    Aircon a bit different

    With a view to a aircon that worked in my 96 Defender and minimum heat in the engine bay a housing was made to fit condenser and 2 300mm fans.A hole was cut in the roof and the rear panel over the rear door. The unit was then sealed to the roof .A scoop made for the inlet and a grill made for the exhaust air

    Fantastic work. One of those would look good atop the 101 once it has its hard top!

    Thanks
    You might have to consider with the extra wind resistance and your air compressor if the cummins will have enough grunt to run AC as well I suppose you could turn it off on hills
