Chimaera Air Con pipes
Discussion
I'm rebuilding the engine bay of my 500 following an engine fire (apparently it used to belong to Retief Goosen according to my owners handbook). Anyway the air con pipes need replacing and whilst I see it as an extravagance on an open top sports car, it makes sense to keep it in original spec.
Trouble is how do you get the old ones off? I've traced one to the back of the heater box up against the wheel arch, removed the air flow meter and the access panel underneath it but it looks impossible without taking the whole heater box out? If this is the case I have found a couple of screws so far but before I go any further can anyone help please?
Update:
O.K. Problem solved for anyone else with air con pipes that need replacing. Take the nearside front wheel off and inside the wheelarch is a riveted panel which will have to be removed (see photo). I couldn't get at it without removing the heater box which looks like a job too far for me!
