Just wondering how common it would be or a good place to source a rover mini air con kit?

I was thinking it would probably be suitable to use in a datsun powered morris minor seeing as they'd put out about the same amount of power..

Cheers,
Tom

It would probably be easier to find a 120Y or Sunny kit and retrofit that. Or even one of the countless "Vintage Air" type under-dash units available.

A Rover Mini kit is not going to fit your engine, engine bay or under your dashboard, so there would be a lot of custom work required. Plus they are hard to find.

Cheers,
Brett.

Not only that, spare parts can be tricky to get.
I had to get half my hard pipework changed from SAE #5 to SAE #6.

If you want a cheap setup I'd adapt something more common like from an old rolla or excel .
