Aircon dryer bottle 74 CSi

[Simufly]

Would a 73/73 CSi owner with aircon be kind enough to post some pictures of the correct location of the dryer bottle. The space beside the coil and the support for the air intake silencer seems a bit small.
Thanks.

Not the best pics but the bottle has a metal ring that clamps around the tabs of the black bracket below the coil. I havent installed the bottle yet but the bracket is there.

Manythanks. Is your factory or Hoffman fit do you know? It looks like its going to be a very tight squeeze!
In your first picture the air box would appear to be mounted on a screwed bracket. Mine sits on a welded braket to the wing.

It was there before the tear down so I assume it will go back in!

The air box appears to be b35 style where the flange is bent outwards and mounted to the fender with the rubber mount, not d-jet if that is what you wanted to see. On my conversion I put it forward of the rad panel behind the headlight.

Thanks, anyone able to offer other photos of the dryer bottle in situ please?
