    Anybody know of any aftermarket/other carmake condenser which will fit the 328 without or with minor mounting modifications?
    Thanks

    What's the problem with your old one?
    Usually minor leaks can be welded up.

    Verell,
    The skidplate under the front of the car has been rubbing the lower pipe coming out of the condenser and has rubbed the pipe thin - result: freon gone. I can have it repaired, but wondered if a substitute would be the way to go instead.
    This might be a heads up for other 3x8 owners - you will need to remove the front right wheel and the lower front inner fender to get good access for inspection.

    I don't know of an 328 alternate, but remember someone in the old Fchat days saying they successfully used a 'universal' one in their 308.

    Can't remember if it was from JC Whitney, or Summitt Racing tho.

    there are a lot of high capacity condensors available now which may offer better cooling. i would check old air products and vintage air. they have a lot of components available. good luck, steve
