    I've seen some with a hex head bolt similar to the ones talked about for the cruise control bracket :dunno:

    I've seen a few that way but I've owned six fairly unmolested 70 A/C cars (not survivors but not hacked either)  that all had a pan head screw, I've always assumed the hex head bolt has been done by someone other than the plant...

    At least your up front about it ----   I currently disassembled my two units tonight - Cast aluminum housings and then a dichromate plated cover....      was thinking of zinc plating for the screws in the housing and then black phosphate for the bracket nuts?   

    Those little buggers are way more complicated than I thought they would be....      are you aware of any method of bench testing functions before installing them >?

    This might answer a question or two....

    Good to know ! Is the clamp itself silver or black ? I would have thought black, but I see a silver one on an OE Gold 70 Challenger :clueless:

    It's the same phillips head screw that is used to attach the other two brackets to the radiator support. Most of my pictures do not show it clearly, but it is specified in the MMC Fasteners Guide.

    That will be the owners decision, I think we're going old school R12 :dunno:

    R134a requires changing the type of oil that is used in the compressor. Do you know what's in it now ?
