Re: "Geronimo" 54' 3100 LS built in PA

3-10

So after many many hours of researching and emailing vintage air blah blah blah. I was almost going to get the GenIV sure fit kit. Kinda glad so far that I didn't. It would have been around 15-1600 after i got the kit, trinary switch and bracket for the LS. not to mention I'd have to get the right compressor pulley.
So I went with the Compact kit. Its heat and AC. The evaporator I have here cost $465. I should be able to piece everything together and be well below the surefit price. not to mention...... the surefit kit seems very cheesy. they have all the hoses blowing through that big stock hole in firewall and have a "plastic" cover. then they have some huge piece of plastic or metal that goes on the firewall as if its a support of some kind. they say just put some silicone on it. Dude after spending 1500 plus dollars, I'm not putting plastic and metal or whatever on my firewall. no thanks.

So enough of the rant. Their brackets are literally worthless. So I built one that got the unit in there for now. I still want to add a bracket the ties into the front of the unit. Overall I'm happy with the placement. Have plenty of room off firewall. I just ordered a bulk head so it will look very nice on the outside. So I have some more holes to fill on the firewall since I'm not using them.
