They will fit, but they can&#8217;t be turned to face directly ahead.  I&#8217;d have to make a special bracket.  Rather than do that I returned them and ordered a smaller set that (only 3&#8243; across instead of the 5&#8243; or so) should be manoeuvrable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kgworks.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"321\" height=\"330\" src=\"https:\/\/kgworks.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3075\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kgworks.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image.png 321w, https:\/\/kgworks.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-292x300.png 292w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 321px) 100vw, 321px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kgworks.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_1249.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/kgworks.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_1249.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3074\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kgworks.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_1249.jpg 640w, https:\/\/kgworks.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_1249-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kgworks.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_1248.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/kgworks.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_1248.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3073\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kgworks.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_1248.jpg 640w, https:\/\/kgworks.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_1248-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The bearing on the AC compressor sounds a bit loud, but I decided to give it a try.  I started the engine and filled the system with 12A gas.  Sadly no cold air coming out of the vents.  I checked the service manual AC checks and it appears that the evaporation tube orifice may be blocked. The next day I took the car out for a drive hoping that the system might clear itself and get going with the pump running at driving speeds.  Unfortunately the system had leaked down enough that the pump quit.  I may try recharging the systems and adding a can of stop-leak they taking if for a drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The final option &#8211; for next winter &#8211; will be to buy the R134a conversion kit from Corvette Depot and doing a full overhaul of the system.  Might be the best bet anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile I have parts on the way and lots of little things to look at before the end of the driving season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Picked up a nice set of yellow driving lights on Amazon.
