Looking for a source to "rebuild" an AC Drier for a '63 Avanti

[John Brissette]

I'm in the process of changing the AC compressor, on a '63 and would like to find a source for rebuilding the drier. Who can you recommend,and were you satisfied with the results?

Thanks

John

John, I had the receiver dryer completely redone by the ORIGINAL AIR GROUP,  5133 W. Idlewild Avenue  Tampa Florida 33634

phone is 813- 259 7688    OA@classicautoair.com    The entire bill was only $130.  The only problem is they are very very busy and I had to wait 6 months for an opening. Once they contacted me by email, the turn around time as about 45 days. The receiver dryer came back like NOS.

They do all models and systems for our cars and all others.

Mark, received your PM.

Thanks for the information. 7 1/2 months to rebuild a drier is not acceptable. I got it done with a two week turn around, by Old Air Products in Ft.Worth Texas.FYI , they also stock flare fittings.

RQB3263/81/305.......My experience with dryers is that you can "overhaul" them yourself for zero cost....what is inside is a bag of silica-gel,,... put it in the oven at 200 degrees overnight and reinstall it.... that will rejuvenate the sg and your good to go.....
