1983 300D Turbo Diesel
BerlinerWillie
06-09-2014, 11:39 AM #1I purchased my 300D without a compressor and some lines. The body was too good to pass up. Anyway, I can go with stock Delco unit and new lower/upper manifold line(s) & Freeze 12, or I can go with a Sanden 134 aftermarket solution. None of these vendors seem to be in business any longer. I cannot get a response from Klima or European Cooler Air. Any other vendors out there that handle these components? If not, I will go the stock route. How about the refrigerant lines? I cannot find the manifold lines aftermarket. I may just have to go to MB. Any other solution recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You can always get the sanden compressor online. You will need a mounting kit for it. You can make one or buy one. i think a guy on peachparts makes them for about $150
as far as lines, have you checked with a hydraulic shop? I know they usually makes hoses and they might be able to fabricate some for you,.
