Unsolicited Testimonial: MW-San Diego: "I used to be able to drive around town with my hand resting on my XKE shift knob, but since installing your Air Conditioning Kit it is now too cold to do that -even on low speed!"
Our Full and Upgrade Kits were long-term development projects that were initiated by demand after the sucess of our Mark II A/C Kit. We wanted to retain the look of a S2 Original Equipment unit, but made it 2-3 times more efficient (colder). The original Evaporator (inside the car) case had undersized Vents that were impossible to reproduce, and a totally inefficient core, so we fixed all that. We designed ours to accept a super-efficient core, updated the Vent Louvers, and ended up with a unit that has almost the same dimensions. The front face is the only change and is marginally taller than the original.
We now offer the only viable alternative to homely "Hang Down" systems or some other inefficient unit unable to cool properly. As in our Mark II Kit, we use only the best custom-made and efficient parts available. Call for our Contents list.
