[Vwdiesel] A/C compressors... the result

[The President]

I've just won on ebay a (nearly) complete a/c setup for my Quantum. My 
latest 'Q' was hit by a truck and their insurance has agreed a $370 payout. 
Panel repairabl in my opinion. Car only cost$50; hence I'm stuffing the 
money back in.

eBay #  290009682569 $213 +P&P
Just lacks the 5 way switch and the heater sliders. Being an '85 it didn't 
have those silly push buttons.So I think the non a/c sliders should work?? 
The seller seems to think it should all fit with a little cutting into a non 
a/c.setup!

Gary, where does the a/c lines enter the bulkhead? Anyone have a picture? I 
see no spare rubber grommets.

All I need now is a cruise control setup and I'll be happy :oD
