Reply to "New Condensor and Dryer arrived"

Can you elaborate on what was needed to be done to the drier. What exactly did you have to do to get the "in" on the right side and "out" on left side?

I have that polished drier in my system also. There was a problem that was fairly easily solved and I called Jack @ Vintage Air and told them about it. I wonder if they fixed it. The problem was that, with the drier mounted on the passenger side of the condensor (the stock location) the inlet & outlet ports were on the wrong side so that the hoses would have to cross over the drier (or behind it) in order to mount them, (or the drier would have to be mounted upside down).

The fix involved taking the unit to a machine shop and having them drill and tap 2 new holes in the filter body. This way the filter part could be rotated 180 degrees so the inlet &outlet are on the correct side.

I used a small piece of aluminumflat stock that I polished to mount it in the stock location as seen in the picture.
