Installing the AC compressor

[Bill D]

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,

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.....

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

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.

Great pics. What compressor are you using?

Thanks

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.
