Installing the AC compressor
Has anyone with an RCR40 installed an AC compressor yet? I've been having a hell of a time trying to locate a suitable location on the engine that won't interfere with things like the oil filter and radiator hose inlet on the water pump.

Thanks
Bill D

Re: Installing the AC compressor
Bill,

it fits to the left side of the engine with our custom brackets....

I think the online build manual should have something updated this week.....

Re: Installing the AC compressor
Fran-

A couple of questions:

1) Are you using a Sanden 508?

2) When you say left side, is that the side when looking at the engine from the front?

3) Can I get a set of the brackets?

Thanks
Bill

Re: Installing the AC compressor
Hey Bill,
Here are a couple pics of mine. (1 top and 1 bottom view)

IMHO you will never get a 508 to package. Or...rather if you do, you are a better engineer than I am.

Re: Installing the AC compressor
I saw that and asked him for details on the AC compressor. He said to contact you for details. Seems like no one wants to answer my question.
