Air con stag

Here it is Spiro: Despite all the Triumph AC testing in North Africa as well as North America on what seemed to be essentially a well designed similar AC unit to the equally well designed Jaguar XJ unit, no cars seemed to have officially come here with this lovely factory integrated system; from what we know. There are cars here of course with the integrated set up, either converted over from LHD or private imports. I did see a white one at Triumph Spares in Fairfield recently with the later vertically mounted condenser - with its system not connected...The owner may even be part of our group and may want to elaborate? I had a close look and this vehicle and it may have been a genuine Leyland Australia import. Problem with the factory set up is really nothing other than the lack of availability of those specialty parts like the different' heater' slide switch and the engine vacuum canister etc. it is possible some of the similar vintage Jaguar parts may fit or that a more modern equivalent may suit.

Tough in Perth where you are Bruce without it if you want to regularly use the car. You mentioned a Sedan one you will be fitting Bruce, could you elaborate if you don’t mind? My 2500S has the under dash dealer fitted unit, I have seen integrated 2500 AC units similar to the Aussie hybrid Stag set up but strangely in an earlier 2500..

Bruce P.: There are a couple of factory AC Stags here in Perth I'm aware of, both work extremely efficiently. I am also aware of more that were fitted with integrated systems from sedans. There's only a small amount of mod to the evap unit (inside bit) to make it work with the knobs, links, electrics and the rest can be sourced from anywhere such as condenser (outside bit) and the compressor as they only attach using compatible fittings. I have a sedan unit which I will be fitting soon. The point below from John re' the compressor is worthy of comment here, I'm using a modern Jap car unit as they are smaller by about half and more efficient. I'll be fabricating my own mounting brackets. And anyone who suggests we are going soft in our old age is probably on the money, but in a hot climate, air conditioning our Stags makes a great cruising car even better. (call me a softy if you will)

This is an impressive documentation of the air-con installation. For myself I bought two standard Stag air-con systems from the USA some 6-7 years ago and have yet to install in my cars but after reading Vic’s account I reckon that was a good idea. I must have been waiting for Vic’s to finish his. Now I can begin ! Again, many thanks Vic.
