I'd love to. Lost the darn driver for my digital camera and can't find one online.

If it uses removable media card (SD, compactflash, Memory stick, etc), you can get a reader for the card at walmart for about $15-20.
 
I think my set-up used a Sanden 508 and 135a. I also used the period behind the dash evap that several aftermarket installers used in the 70's. The drier and cond were just gerneric items. Bracketry was the shortcoming of the set-up. I will redesign it if I ever go back with a/c. The origional compressor was destroyed in a flood. One very important thing to remember if you are going to build a set up like mine is placement of the hoses. My BGT was a 71 and the hoses were run through the radiator diaphram. Well, when I had a clutch failure, guess what? The hoses had to be broken to be able to get the engine out. Since then, I have made a two piece rad diaphram to prevent this but have never reinstalled a/c in the car. Note, this would not be a problem with RB cars
 
I am working on an article on my AC installation. If you have a late model de-smogged MGB and want to see what I did, for what ever its worth, e-mail me and I send it to you when its done.

Jay - if you want, we could include it with the tech tips on my website.
 
Tony, that sounds like a good idea, because I took lots of pictures of the installation which I'm using in the article, so it will probably best on a web site.

Hottvr, I could send you a draft copy for some feedback. What makes sense to me sometimes makes no sense at all to anyone else.

I should have the draft ready in a week or so.
 
K - send me the article & attach the photos separately...I'll format & make it look like the other articles...will put your name on it
