I’m having a hell of a time finding a replacement ac condenser to fit my 93 cossie. So close but the mounting brackets are off by just a bit - does anyone have one to sell?

 

Hello,

I think it`s really hard work to find original replacement. Also notice, if you find original replacement, it`s old one. And if you are so lucky at you found replacement, it will cost fortune.
So... I recommended to modify fasteners from non original AC compressor, to get it fit to car original fasteners. (keep car original)

It`s time to go buy some metal and get some grinder, drill and welding machine.

 

I found a shop specializing in air conditioning systems and was able to order a similar compressor from an auto parts distributor in the UK. To your point he's using some other fitting and figuring out a way to make it work -- I think we'll get there! Wow I had no idea it would be such a royal pain in the ass

 

hey mate how did you end up going with this do you know what compressor you ended up going for? And how did you make the belt taught afterward with the tension ?
escort problems 😂

 

Hello M8, I didn't do the work so can't give you great answers here. I found a replacement compressor on Motorodoc. I recommend you meassure the space between the bolt mounting points and make sure it's equal to the one you find on Motordoc, unfortunately my invoice is a couple years old and running a search using the part number doesn't yield any results. Looking back I think the best solution is to get your existing compressor refurbished

 

Thanks for the reply mate , after digging and digging and endless net searches unfortunately I came up with nothing in regards to a replacement

But

i did manage to find a direct ford replacement and out of all the cars out there for a part to be the same a f350 couldn't be further away !

 

What's the part number for the F350 unit?

Typical ford parts bin raid

I looked into this a few months ago because my ac pump clutch was toast. After some research I found some info on a forum (can't remember which 1) that a 2006 jaguar x type 2.0 diesel is the same part. I say the same but the pulley is a 6 rib where as the cossie is a 4 rib. I looked for one on ebay and it does look the same but you will have to check. I had a spare pump for my escos so I made 1 good pump out of 2 and when I fitted it it actually worked 🤘🤘

 

You can't leave us this little nugget and not give us more info.

You have a part number, or what year and engine F350?
