    What other equipment do you have? How do you measure the 300 gram?

    You're lucky, having some R134a for the coming years. Did you hear about the politically initiated huge price increase in the EU lately? Last year R134a got 400% more expensive compared to two years ago.
    I hope, that after the Brexit we get a chance to purchase the refrigerant in the UK at a still reasonable price. Though it also got more expensive there, it's still cheaper than in the rest of the EU.

    Best from Germany

    I have couple of projects I'd like to try these on, but wouldn't mind a brief confirmation/summary which or if both will be reasonably easy conversion for OEM units used in most Italian applications in the late-'60s/early-'70s ?
    Also, any long term experience with either ?

    I installed a TCCI compressor in my Maserati Bora and ran it with great results for 3 years before selling the car, A/C still blowing strong.

    Rebuilding only goes so far and I've heard of $500 in labor costs to do the work. Why not slap on that old Aspera Frigo label and run a new one that nobody can tell!

    Thank you Scott, for sharing your actual experience.
    Other than painted/non-painted are T/CCI and Valeo exactly same units or if not, what are the significant differences between them ?

    I was poking around at T-Rutlands Ferrari parts this morning and they have three sets (both pieces) of the original compressor brackets if anyone is looking for these parts.
