Not strictly modding, I am retro-fitting aircon to my TF160, and need some help.

I'm having problems working out the front bay plumbing. and I'm hoping someone with an F or TF would let me have pics of the front bay, so I can work out where the pipes enter and exit.

Thanks in anticipation .

Thanks Guys,

I've been in touch with Mark in Canada who did the retrofit on the Canadian site, for some time.

He has sent me a load of helpful pics today, his is an F but I should be able to sort out the plumbing today now I have the gen.

Pics any good to anyone here ?

Glad those pictures were of help Mike.

Some of the pictures I sent Mike, plus a writeup on retrofitting aircon to my MGF, can be found here: http://cmmgrcc.org/installing-air-conditioning-mgf/

I have to say that the aircon thread by quick_silver was of a lot of help to me.

Once the weather warms up over here, and the snow disappears, I'll find out if I did a good when I go to have the aircon system charged.

Well, Thanks to the pics I made some progress.

SS pipes are on, as is the extra wiring and big aircon pipe.

Not sure about the small one, F's seem to have it running down the right-hand side of the car, but I've got some small white clips there, the bigger black clips are on the left side, it looks like there is a hole for the pipe there, but I don't see how it unclips from the underside of the car to fit the pipe , sorry the pic's not too good.

Sorry,

This one's actually a bit better.

Any chance of somebody letting me have a pic of the underside of an MG TF with aircon ?
