Good deal on AC condenser

[dbacon]

I just got my mail order AC condenser for my 95 Sidekick JLX. It was $34.95 plus $24.99 shipping! Can you ask for a better deal than that? It even fit, sort of, but not difficult to adjust a few holes, no big.
The main thing, the fittings, fit perfectly, and it is holding vacuum right now.

Got it from Radiator Classic in CA, USA.

Oddly, the address www.radiatorclassic.com doesn't allow viewing, even though they use that as their email address: sales@radiatorclassic.com.
I found them on eBay, and this works:
eBay Store - radiatorclassic: CHEVROLET, GMC, OLDSMOBILE

I also found a 30 lb can of R134a for (I think, $85) at Sam's club, so there is no reason for you guys to be sweatin'

By the way if you are going to get a freon leak detector, you need the heated diode type for R134a, I see mine on eBay for $22, it is a common one, mine is called a "Leakcheck WJL-6000", and can detect a leak as small as 6 grams/year (Yikes, I would be happy with 1 can - 12 oz - a year...)
It has a full 1 year warrantee, but there is no way I can identify who made it... strange...

Here is a Hong Kong supplier on eBay:
eBay Store ? easylifeproduct: Search results for leak detector.

I got mine elsewhere but this was easier to look up for you guys.

Good luck.

I have also seen a few guys using the air con pump as a pump to supply a pressure vessel for off road air. Very handy I thought..

I am so sorry I didn't get this sooner. But did you have it installed? Not that it was that hard, but a lot of that could have been labor.

Anything to help the high cost of repair. Maybe we should have a special place on this forum for good part prices. I was really happy with this one.
