kinda funny, unclip the coiled return line and use that, but for the cap line, all i did was bend it by hand very carefully (kinda hard to do when you are used to tearing eveyone appart on the football field) I took my time and just bent it slowly and not to put the same pressure on the same part of the tube. If you go slow, watch for kinks, that copper is very forgiving. just my $.02

and btw pimpsho, i don't have anything in there yet, i still gotta get a pump, the blocks and cut out a notch so the return line and the cap line won't get in the way. So I still have lots of stuff to do. I'll be sure to take some pic's of it too

where did u score the cooler?

**mrnuke** · 11-23-2003, 03:38 PM

target for 10 bux

its one of those rubbermaids that fits a 12 pack of pop and fits in the car. Gary mentioned it and i looked into it. Perfect fit w/o a big bulky cooler

Use 100% denatured alcohol. you can get it at any hardware store, Ace/ trunvalue/ homedepot, look in paint dept in solvents.

**Pimpsho** · 11-23-2003, 04:49 PM

alright in heading to get a cooler now and some anti freeze and the denatured alcohol!

**vlad** · 11-23-2003, 04:55 PM

If you go to homedepot look for this instead of auto antifreeze. its way better. and cheaper too!

**Gary Lloyd** · 11-23-2003, 05:48 PM

mrnuke, congrats. Its a thing of beauty.

What is the make and model of your A/C? That looks like it would be the one I would recommend.

If you can make the coil sit in there kitty corner, you can pump your coolant in one end of the cooler and out the other. That would force the cooland to circulate through the coil, making it more efficient.

**Gary Lloyd** · 11-23-2003, 05:59 PM

Pimpsho, unfortunately yours is not an exact duplicate. Your tubing runs in entirely different and very inconvenient directions. But with a tubing bender, some careful planning, and even more careful bending, we can do this.

**Pimpsho** · 11-23-2003, 06:06 PM

aite well i got some goodies!!! first something u guys have seen somewhere b4 i think

(special thanks to gary and mrnuke on the find!)

**Pimpsho** · 11-23-2003, 06:08 PM

then the stuff to make it all happen

**mrnuke** · 11-23-2003, 06:08 PM

its a kenmore 5250btu unit model # 580.74053, and what do you mean by the coil sitting there? if you can just copy my pic and circle what you wan me to do. Thanks

Antifreeze for heating systems thats all. its no more poisonous
then auto antifreeze & its better & cheaper. all this crap will kill you if you drink it.
