[DML] Re: Orifice Tube

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

I have had success with repair kits for the orifice tube.

This is what they look like. I don't remember the tube sizes. The 
ones I used were GM CCOT types that were the same size as the 
DeLorean fittings.

The hardest issue is cutting the old orifice tube receiver off the 
evaporator - it takes a tube cutter that is in good condition to do 
the job right. I've done three; two worked beautifully, the other 
one had just too much damage to the evaporator tube (dented) to hold 
a seal.

This might be worth trying before removing the evaporator. You will 
know if the seal is going to hold when you put the vacuum to it.

bright idea to drill up the middle and pull it out but went a little too far and drilled into and through the evaporator pipe.
