Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 308 A/C repairs

[Jeff Greenfield (coyote]

If you are replacing the compressor, why not move to a modern rotary  
compressor?

I beleive that sanden is the common replacement. Supposedly there is  
an off the shelf adapter bracket that allows the compressor to bolt  
right up.

Sorry I can' be more specific, this is what I have been told and have  
not done it personally (yet)

As for the receiver/drier, take it to a local parts store and match it  
up. They should have one or more catalogs with detailed dimensions.

While you're at it, don't forget the expansion valve ....

HTH,

Jeff
