Does anyone remember a company called Mount kits? A guy called Phil from memory don't know if he is still going but I am sure I still have his number.

auto climate phoned the other week with so called massive clearout sale on mount kits mabe just old stock though I do not buy many but spoke to autoclimate 2 months ago for a bracket to fit a new crafter ,they told me that they are getting lots of requests for kits to suit older vans so people must be fitting new fridges to old vans guess its something to do with the slow down in the economy,but they also said kits are not available for some popular vans because of the engineering mods to suit emission regs

thanks ef steve ordered 2 kits monday arrived on tuesday what service .... used autoclimate for ten years nearly and lately got very expensive same kits 5 months apart fifty percent dearer we also got the clear out list from autoclimate there trade may be due to the simple fact there competition is half the cost what else can you say

the kit is mainly ford idlers but its exactly the same as autoclimate but you get a continental belt and heat shield for the pipes also you get the independant manifold kit like tk used on the traffics so the pipes fit better i fitted the kit tonight and all is good.its boxed and packaged well i must admit i did not look at the fitting instructions as ive done to many by now but we are putting 3x more merc on the rental fleet in january so i guess i no where they are comeing from happy christmas guys
