Re: Another A/C Delete Question

So I'm looking at this bracket from a Diesel (part number 068903145B) and wondering if, instead of cutting up the old York bracket and hoping for the best, I might just scrap the whole stupid thing and use this one? Yes? No?

Another A/C Delete Question

Well....I've finally made up my mind to do it this Spring. I'm going to remove the A/C compressor and peripherals from the '83 and rid Nimbus of the excess poundage. It never worked right. Was noisy. Rattled. And just looked like the cobbler's job that it obviously was when originally installed by t...

Re: Compelled to Upgrade the Radiator

Yep.That's disappointing, but thanks for the heads-up. I'll call them today and get a feel for what they're about.

Re: Compelled to Upgrade the Radiator

Just found a place in North Carolina that sells the factory originals for $9.00. New. Couple of bucks to ship, and I'm golden. I'll share the site when i call them tomorrow to see if they're legit. Got the pipe, a lower rad hose, the connector hose from the coolant pipe to the water pump, and the ov...

Re: Compelled to Upgrade the Radiator

Briano: Thanks for the prompt reply. A couple of things, though. I guess that now my biggest question is--since the '83 seems to be one of the few that has (had) the plastic expansion tank with the filler neck and cap all attached to the radiator--can I use the '84 and later rad, assuming that I'm g...

Compelled to Upgrade the Radiator

I'm back, after a long hiatus---largely because things have been going pretty well with Nimbus, my '83 Wolfsburg.
