Vintage Air doesn't make a bulkhead fitting for the Sure-fit kit. So I made one myself, (it's just a piece of 1/8th aluminum). I also had to change the ends of the hard lines (if you go back a few pages I have pictures of everything). I talked to VA about offering this as an option (I even offered to send them my lines for patterns), but they weren't interested...

VA doesn't seem to be interested in anything above and beyond what they are doing. I had a similar interaction with them with an idea I had that would make life easier!

Thank you! I'm humbled that you say that. I'm not sure it's the nicest, I'm doing my best and am very appreciative that people like my vision. Thanks again, !

That's kinda what I was thinking. I guess their thoughts are, "Why fix it if it's not broke..." and I get it. However, it wouldn't cost much to make it a cleaner looking and an easier install. OBTW, love the attention to detail on yours, keep it up
