Thanks for this Bill. The thought has crossed my mind.

I came across what seemed like a reasonably priced Sanden paired with one of Rich's brackets but said deal has since evaporated. TBH I was perfectly satisfied with my AC experience up until the point it detonated.

I've read enough about HC refrigerants to be a convert. Thinking a new R4 and envirosafe might be the way forward.

Are there any specific compressors you've had a good experience with?
