Punting

It's procrastination, once again

Stalling fixin' my AC.......

I have done the research.  Bought some parts.

Hit a roadblock.

Backed up.

Did more research.

Solicited shops to do the work for me at an eye watering rate...

Resigned myself to paying that rate.

Get all six shops I asked about it to turn down the job because THEY don't want to take the windshield out either.

Looks like I'm going the route I was trying to avoid and shortening the bolts so they clear the brace without pulling the windshield.  The reasoning to avoid cutting those bolts sounds specious to me anyways.  Besides I think I even have a way to mitigate it by going with all-thread rod and nuts of a grade higher than the piece coming out. 

So I've bought a different batch of parts that should simplify the project considerably.  Only four were available in the entire US parts system.  It's now three.

I'm going to use the parts I already bought to refurbish the AC box I'm taking out and put it on Facebook market place for $200.
