I have just looked on my usual State side suppliers and noticed both are now listing the OEM TT A/C Condensor as NLA. Sad times indeed.As the car's age, it really is surprising how many people want luxury items working again. It will be a struggle now seeing as the condenser was one of the biggest culprits for gas loss. How many more parts losses can we as owners stand as these fantastic cars grow older :thumbdown:

The price of second hand parts will only get higher as more Z parts go NLA. If you are going to keep your zx for a long term ownership then start stock piling parts now.

I don’t know if you’ve got one on stock Jim, but would it be worth approaching an AC company to see if they can reproduce them?

May still be available from the supplier I have used in Japan for hard to get parts:

Sad news - although Andrew's link could prove useful..... At a price though!!

 

Nick has a point; it is, after all, a kind of radiator, so maybe someone could reproduce one....?

I have asked my AC Specialist whats available,They could be made but would want a serious amount of units ordered to justify the tooling costs etc.Condensors can be bought by size also and made to fit,Its the pipes that are a headache as they are metric and most A/C stuff is Imperial and has been for years.

nothing a bit of thread tape can't solve :lol:

:lol: 250psi and lashings of it !!

Might be worth seeing if thread adaptors are available or the cost of making them up. That would be a bit easier than having condensers custom built.

Surely something smaller but readily available could be found, say off a Fiesta then a adapter set of pipes and bracket made. Not hard.
