Howdy all! I just recently bought my first Bradley GT II this past week. While going over all the nooks and crannies, I discovered that this particular car was fitted with factory AC at some point. I see a Condenser with a fan behind the front splitter, a dryer in the wheel well, and lines running back. Not sure if my air box has all the necessary components yet, but if it does, what are my options for a compressor? I would like to get it looking as close to stock as possible, but I wager most of the original Bradley supplied pumps are all long dead or in use. What specs should I be looking for in a replacement compressor? Thanks!

I would start by looking up kits that fit VW motors. It will require lots of mods but what doesn't in a kit car right?

The nameplate from the original Bradley compressor:
No. A-670161
Pt. CF206R-20297
York Automotive
Bear in mind that this is a freon 12 compressor so you won't be able to purchase a new one but you may be able to find something to replace it. You will also need to replace the expansion valve when switching freons

Expansion valve was mentioned, what about the dryer, evaporator, or condenser? Could i use those with a different refrigerant? |
