Air con' parts needed

[Gazz]

I am retrofitting air con and need just about all the parts to hook up from an existing evaporator forward to the engine bay as I have everything for the cabin side except for the air con' control knobs.

Need - Drying container. Vibration damper. Brackets for same. Hoses. Elbows. Anything else you may have.

I will source a modern compressor in Australia and I have the compressor bracket already.

Do the above parts from an E24 fit an E9? Any other model?

Thanks in advance, Gary.

You want the Mercedes dryer

Vibration damper not needed if converting to modern pump. If you want for correctness you will need to find a used one. Coupeking has the hard lines from interior to engine bay but they are pricey.

Everything seems to be cheaper here!

Thanks for this Don. Just ordered 1, so now there are 9!

Don - The E9 community would be a far poorer place without this Prince.

I'm in the middle of reading Rob Siegel's AC book, Just needs a recharge. Does that MB dryer have flare connections or O ring connections? An important consideration if you are replacing items with new ones as the O rings seal better but require different hoses and connections. The MB dryer caps make it look like a flare connection. The RMeuropean site makes it hard to find things that aren't OEM for your car, you have to choose a different car, and then search for parts. I picked an '85 535 and found this dryer which looks to have O ring connections and a similar price.
Sooo many choices....
