 |
|
| Looking for an A/C system to install in a rare RHD 1960 Ghia convertible. I have been told that the condenser mounting for RHD is different, but I don't know that for sure. Any information and/or pics would be greatly appreciate it |

Last time I looked they wouldn't ship to New Zealand. I respect their decision but I've been wondering why ever since.

I'd be interested to know how you went about it, please. My Ghia is in dire need of a project and aircon is at the top of my list. That and a really quiet exhaust.

Mines a long term project at the moment- will definitely post some photos with more details on the kit at some point at the moment engine is being built and shop is working on making a custom underdash vent as wasn't that keen on the one that came with the kit.
