IMO, even the dealerships don't know anymore...quite distressing actually...!
I did not know that hilarious comedians such as yourself actually still performed in your fair part of the Pacific ocean... I am overly relieved that future discussions on the merit of driving a Series II Land Rover and how they may indeed be superior to the the mostly plastic fronted bretheren... the Series III ok...might have been avoided this alltogether? Suffice it to say that a removable metal grille IMHO is far superior when cooking dingo on the trail...aside from the fact that the new plastic grilles intrefere with the left-handed starting handle mechanism most commonly used in RHD oriented countries....no matter....most folk take the idea of starting a car with a monkey wrench a bit too much anyhow!
You did ask for the ultimate AC set up IIRC and I do hope you did also get the gist of my 'angle' on BMWs add on Point of Entry air conditioning system, installed as optional equipment post 1971?. Perhaps you also detected my displeasure at conditioning air and having it blow warmer than the air being drawn in? Could there be any higher level of inefficiency on the planet?
No matter....
Since I have some amount of experience with AC installation, yes on many BMW's and I have overhauled my own e24 system twice in it's 150,000 miles of pounding the asphalt...oh and retrofitting US cars at summer break...a somewhat dispiriting task but it paid for my Calculus books, etc..
This employment involved putting the damned things into vehicles that are ready to be owned by and believe it or not actually driven in summer by folks a bit too dense to have ordered the same feature as original equipment in the first damn place....?
Really, if you think about it one in my position should just pack it in tomorrow and go into the shotgun shell dispensary and refilling business? Would I then be more appropriately called a 'ventilator' on hiatus or just a hack, running a gun shop outside of Waco Texas, with a slightly shady Canon film and lens outlet on the side? (literally on the side of the building)
If it's e9 AC parts you desire just name your poison...? otherwise we have a shotgun range out back and you are most welcome to visit and experience that most peculiar American tradition of shooting your own Thanksgiving turkey at point blank range... and if as you say, you CAN hit a barn door from say 200 yards (or even the door of an e9 twice in a row from that distance) you might just do very well in this fine Country of ours.....
