Calling all cooling masters,

i need the rads almost next to the compressor! no 2 teir cooler thank you. the pipes are well too long and i DONT want to cut them unless i absolutly have too.(im a complete noob, and wouldnt know how to refill or braze.) recon i can get away with bending them? and tips?

I wouldn't like to try bend them, from where I'm sat it looks a bit of a pain in arse, I think you may get one coil on the floor but the other?? hmm, I'm not convinced, I'd be a bit weary about the strength of the copper tube and joints, I think it's quiet fair to say the tube has probably gone through many heat/cool cycles over time and as a result the tube may be a bit fragile.

if i choose to cut the pipes...how would i go about refilling the loop?

[MeltedDuron]

braze an access valve on the service port, braze it all back together, and buy a manifold and gas, then charge it... not sure what pressure tho, all this is covered in the stickies :stick:

Im not even sure how those two heat exchangers are plumbed? Youve got to be real careful when moving those around. Agian, not sure how your trying to bend it.

As stated here already, bigger fan of dis-assembly and re-braze and gas up.
