Air Con Condenser Brackets - Chim/Griff

[andrew_r]

Hi, does anyone have details of the brackets used to mount the Chimaera / Griffith (and possibly Cerbera) AC condenser to the radiator? I can’t seem to find these parts referenced anywhere.

Many thanks

I have a sneaky feeling these were made by TVR, so you may have to buy from a breaker. Just spent an ocd whole day looking into condensers,
dryers and trinary switches. The condenser (as is the receiver/ dryer and trinary switch) is from a defender 300tdi 94 to 2000, so not sure if it ran a similar rad to ours. Condenser part number 2068ae by Sanden (for those down under, Repco part number CNX413).

What a mish to get out, especially with the factory oil cooler pipes in the way.

I was thinking that might be the case.

I already have the condenser, drier, trinary switch, etc, as these are available from the various TVR parts stores, it's just the brackets i'm missing! I think it will be easier to make them myself, as they don't need to be complicated.

Cool, I quite like the set up besides the bottom fixings being fairly inaccessible without the rad out. Theres 2 x full height brackets with rad fixings top and bottom coming off those. Be good to come up with a way to make it easier to keep the condenser in if the rad needs to be removed without discharging the system. If I started from scratch; I'd be tempted to fix to the body Let me know if you need any pics.

Great idea, I was actually thinking the same earlier about mounting the condenser to the body rather than the radiator.

If you have pics, that would be great. Thank you.

Thank you, really helpful.

Bit of a long shot, but does anyone have the condenser brackets going spare, I believe they’re the same on the Chimaera, Griffith and Cerbera. These are the final parts needed to complete my aircon set up.

The usual places which break TVRs don’t have any.

Failing that, I can source some off-the-shelf generic brackets, but the original ones would be easier!

Thanks, Andrew
