3. ENGINE COOLING SySTEM MODIFICATION, cont'd

Fig. 3N

In order to provide adequate clearance for instal-

lation of the new engine coolant reservoir, minor

adjustment to the lower tube of the A/C compres-

sor suction line must be made.

1. Provide proper support to the tube of the A/C

suction line. Do this by lightly wedging a piece

of wood (a small section of 2x4 works well)

between the frame and the aluminum portion of

the A/C suction line as shown. The purpose of

the temporary wooden support is to direct the

bending load into the tube and not the joint

where the aluminum tube joins the base mount.

Ensure that the wood provides light preload on

the middle portion of the aluminum line. See

Fig. 3N.
