Yes they are standard Jensen cast ally covers. They do a lot to lift up an otherwise pretty dull looking engine. Much to my surprise I discovered my Bristol had the same ones but whoever put them on there had a little aluminium, Bristol machined plate made to cover the Jensen name.

Kevin I will organize some photos shortly. The brackets are very simple just 2 flat plates that utilize the long bolt that the power steering pump pivots on. I do not understand what the problem is as to why you are having problems with the mounting of your pump, mine sits in its normal position as supplied by Bristol and that matter Chrysler.
The integration of my Vintage Air system is slowly progressing but as you have pointed out it isnt easy to fit the unit where the original blower and heater were sitting. I have decided to mount it in such a way that it protrudes through the floor of the shelf that the heater and blower sat on so that the bottom half of the unit sits flush on the gearbox tunnel and the top half in the engine compartment. I then need to make up a steel cover to seal the cockpit from the engine bay. To that end I have made up a plywood mock up of the firewall and heater shelf and fitted the test unit vintage air supply. I now should be able to tap into the original air box that supplies the 4 dash vents and likewise the windscreen vents.

Continue. With that installation and the vintage air 4 knob switches I will have hot and cold air to my feet , the dash and the windscreen. The only thing missing is fresh air from out side. The big hold up is there are no units available in Australia till mid June .If all this goes to plan looking under the bonnet the soft cover that fitted over the original heater and blower will remain unaltered and in place.

Has anyone installed air conditioning in a 410, apart from the factory of course. I contacted Fen Air but they said it was too big a job as my car had never had A/C and they weren't prepared to do it.

Thanks David. Did your car have a/c originally or is this a new installation? I would be interested to hear how you get on.
I guess you will retain the factory heater as well. I had thought it might be possible to remove the heater and blower and site the evaporator in its place and just pipe the air from there. Best wishes Bob Livermore
