Air conditioner in my P76 six
Question
- Hi Peter,
- I noticed that you have installed A/A in your Marina. I was wondering if I could get some information so as to try and do the same to my P76 (Six).
- Cheers

- Hi Adrian,
- I've been snowballed with uni assignments of recent and I did promise to get back to you about the airconditioner in my vehicle.
- Basically I have installed an underdash unit that is mounted on the passenger side (I had to cut away the parcel tray shelf to accommodate).
- The location of the alternator has been altered and is now replaced by a Sanden Compressor 508 from memory and is attached with a larger bolt with shims to suit and to take up the slack.
- A special bracket has been manufactured using 10mm steel plate and measured to provide the correct hight and angle for the compressor tension.
- The bolt needs to be minimom 7.5" Grade 5 or 8.
- A swing bracket is then used to mount the alternator with a tensioning bracket coming from the front to hold alternator in position.
- Fan belt for the alternator need to be fitted onto compressor prior to fitting / securing.
- When I installed my unit I noticed the fanbelt driving the alternator was rubbing against the botton radiator water outlet pipe, one can either use a smaller fanbelt or somehow move the radiator to the East a fraction if
- space allows...this means removing the unit and drilling additional holes.
- At this point in time I have removed the aircon compressor from my car as I'm chasing a smaller fanbelt and chasing a larger bolt , 7" bolt is not long enough and I'm not convinced that the threaded pipe used in the
- building industry is strong enough tensile wise to use.
- I hope this may help you to some degree.
- Cheers.
- Peter
