>Are these available? Is it worth trying to fix? Well, you found a source on the Samba thread. As to worth it...are you having stalling problems when the A/C compressor starts, or is it the aesthetics of the thing you care about? One compromise would be to add a wire and a diode like a 1N4004* to the P/S valve, so that either the steering pump or the A/C clutch could activate it. *That's a guess. You might need one with larger current capacity or higher peak reverse voltage rating or both. Yours, David |
