Due to finances, I'll be skipping on the package deal from ICEAC.com for the compressor, bracket and hose fittings (near drop in replacement for the York compressor) for some thing less expensive.
I stumbled on this: http://www.busdepot.com/details.jsp?partnumber=2554 It's a bracket for the VW Bus for a Sanden 508. Since they're both TIV engines, this should be something that can be used on the 914. I've got a grinder, but I've no way to fab up anything to make it work. Once it's mounted, I hoses shouldn't be an issue for me. Opinions? |

The picture Mark sent looks like it will work to mount the compressor, but it's a little too dark to see the bottom tabs...
If you put several pieces together, the concern would be the pulleys on the engine...They must all be the same and they must line up perfectly or you'll get premature wear on the belt...This is a drop the engine, pull the blower case off type thing... I just got my mount kit from ICEAC yesterday...They use a wide, serpentine belt with grooved pulleys...The factory unit used a V-Groove belt...And I have seen a skinny flat belt used... Also the condenser and mount needs to be right... Hoses can be made up at any good A/C installer... 2-OH! |
