[urq] Rotary Compressor?

[Brandon Rogers]

There is an issue in european car from "Project 4kq" several years back
that outlines a rotary converion I think.  I have the issue but it is
packed away an unobtainable right now...

I got a supposedly new (looked rebuilt to me but what do I know....?)
Mini York last summer for closer to $250 IIRC - although it may have
been $400-$500.....But frankly I think my old one was fine - I was in a
rush to get the car ready for the CT trip and didn't want to risk
anything so just sprung for the new compressor...I would sell my old one
for $150 + shipping - and if it doesn't work for you I would give you
your money back - your only risk would be shipping both ways....and
labor.

IMO- I think the M.Y. is _sufficient_ - but I would NOT recommend
converting to R134 - I did and am planning to convert back to R12.

A local A/C shop tells me that my compressor is the source of a major
leak.  While I'm getting a second opinion on that, I've been researching
my options.  I don't relish paying $600 for a rebuilt compressor.  Has
anyone converted to a rotary style?  I know there are lots of brackets
available for converting cars with full-size Yorks, but I wonder if
anyone knows of an adapter for the "mini" York on the urq.  Space is
tight between the pully and the front of the condenser, so I presume
I'll need a relatively shallow design with the ports on top.
 
TIA,
Eric
