Re: leakingA/C evaporator

Tom,
What I am really interested in is the top tube location. Meaning, when you showed us the pictures with the POA valve attached I noticed you are going to have a few compound bends if you are going to try to get the POA back to the point where it ill fit back into its bracket.

I do not think the bends will be that hard as long as you work them very slowly. Take a few pictures of that process if indeed you need to do that.

I have bent a lot of tubing over the years, but if there is anyone out there with a few tips on the proper way to shift the bends, I would be interested.
Again, these tubes are usually soft and forgiving and I hope there is no need to bend them at all.

P.S. I understand your point and somewhat agree with the decision you made. Especially after all you have been through with particular part of our wonderful hobby.

Best of luck.

The evaporator from Old Air showed up, a major improvement over the first piece of junk I got. It's obvious that thought and care was put into it's manufacture. It's not exactly the same, particularly the suction tube, but the connections are where they should be and once installed I'm sure it will be just fine. I hope to make some progress on it today. I'll add some pics and you can all chime in.
