Camo mesh SS - many pics :)

[runmc]

Good looks and performance! Those condensing units are a great basis to start from.

One question though, why not run the camo mesh all the way back to the compressor and make it even prettier?

Good question Jack = The piece I had wasn't long enough. I will take that into consideration on my next build. Thanks for the tip.

And one other Q, why didn't you put the captube right into the evap?

That piece is long enough for me and that's what matters

the way ron did it makes it easier if you ever have to change cap tube

Jack -

I slide the cap tube into the 1/4 tubing until it hits the inside of the evap. Then I back it out about 1/8 inch.
It is 1000 times easier to do it this way. Also if you ever want to change the cap tube, it is very easy to take out.
If you just stick the cap tube into the evap and then braze everything at once it is easy to melt, brake, damage the cap tube.

Exactly Reed

Ah, it sounds so obvious when you explain it Thanks!

I braze the evaporator together with the stub for suction (5/16) and the stub for cap tube (1/4) inserted. I purge while I braze. Then when I'm finished I can clean it and lap it easily. After that I add the suction line and cap tube. It doesn't take much heat for these two so I don't have to worry about melting alloy on already brazed evap. Now I can pressure test.

When I put the cap tube in I pinch the 1/4 tube to hold the cap tube snuggly so it doesn't slide in or out.

Okay I gotta get this out the door. I had to get the fuel pump replaced in my truck so I've been running behind the last two days. Can't get much done walking.
