I've spaced the fans out with corrugated cardboard. I will most likely use a rubber U channel moulding on the edge of the fan shroud, which will free up another couple of mm Sent from my SM-N920I using FerrariChat.com mobile app

Is this the one? https://www.ebay.com/p/1731425825?iid=261137583670&chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=261137583670&targetid=595076243888&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9022416&poi=&campaignid=6470719571&mkgroupid=77538518797&rlsatarget=pla-595076243888&abcId=1140476&merchantid=101704514&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8dX1sZro5QIVF6SzCh0LoAuXEAQYBCABEgKTyfD_BwE
That appears to be the same board, but the casing is different, and it has a cooling fan - very flash! My casing is simply perforated metal. Once mounted, I may run a little duct to it from the a/c. Edit: actually, it's also a slightly different board, but it doesn't matter, so long as the specs are the same. The ad has some similar products listed underneath - it's one of those.
Regarding the seal for the dash vents, did you consider something other than foam? I was thinking about a rubber door seal instead. Yes, Ferrari used foam but we aren't under the same budget constraints that they were. If it costs $10 more it won't break the bank. Lester Nice work BTW!

[/QUOTE] It has to be fairly soft, because, IIRC, the gap gets narrower, so it ends up a wedge shape. It will also dislodge when you slide the dash back on, so will need a bit of judicious poking and prodding through the vent holes to get it seated properly.
Radiator brackets, mark one. They've already been modified since that pic Image Unavailable, Please Login Sent from my SM-N920I using FerrariChat.com mobile app
Trial fitting bottom brackets. Together with the cross member, they form a saddle which cradles the bottom tank. There will be thin closed cell foam padding added before final installation. The radiator is perfectly square, but there isn't a straight line or right angle to be seen on the chassis. It's going to take a bit of fiddling to get it to sit nicely.

Also replacing the cheap Chinese pot with a decent one, which also fits the OEM knob Image Unavailable, Please Login Sent from my SM-N920I using FerrariChat.com mobile app
Sorry, should have been clearer - yes, the fan speed pot. Actually, I just realised that the on-off switch also powers the compressor circuit, so need to rig that up somehow.
Depending on the value of that pot there are a ton of stereo volume pots with on/off switches attached . Great work!
It's a 100K pot, and it has an attached switch, but that switches the PWM on and off, so will be a board voltage of 5V. I need a separate 12V switch to power the a/c compressor circuit. It does have 4 contacts, so hopefully a DPST switch, which will solve my dilemma.
You're right. 240 mA. But the good news is it's a DPST Image Unavailable, Please Login Sent from my SM-N920I using FerrariChat.com mobile app
I'd like to replace that AC fan speed selector, it is such a cheesy switch. Even the sound it makes when you turn it screams out CHEAP!!
Welded in top and bottom brackets. In primer. Some black paint next, and then trial fitting the radiator with fans and condenser attached. I've already tried it, and it's a very tight fit. I want it to be serviceable in future - I won't always have this level of access. Image Unavailable, Please Login Sent from my SM-N920I using FerrariChat.com mobile app
