Ah sorry I didn't notice you weren't in the US. Yes, I've been told it's difficult to catch them in via email. Try len@sleepersspeedshop.com. I could be mistaken but Len is the owner of the shop. Might have some luck there?

Awesome, intake manifold by the way..

Sleeper’s is a GREAT shop and has developed amazing things for our cars, but don’t hold your breath for specialty parts. Even when they are finally produced, you’ll need to be super quick to get one of the limited number they make available.

Also as stated above, don’t email. Call.

My mechanic doesn't see a problem routing the a/c hoses under the intake manifold. It sits above the fan shroud in a space with plenty of room for a couple hoses. We'll look at it closer when the time comes to put the motor back in. It will add a little more labor to install the intake after putting the engine back in--or taking it out again (which I hope not to have done for many, many years after this). It certainly looks cleaner without going to the expense of a new compressor manifold and hoses. I'll give a report when, and if, I have it done.

i know this is an old thread but Sleepers have the reroute kits in stock. there were changes made to make to make changing the oil filter easier. also made it easy to charge the AC system easy.

This looks nicely engineered.
I wonder if it would work on the 965 too, as that has a different AC line setup.

Yes it does. Both a high pressure and low pressure hose meant for R12 and R134a.

No they are not but we make them in house and try and have at least a few in stock. A lot of this also depends on a few parts that aren't made in house that come from our suppliers and their inventory.

Perfect, adding to my list for future project. Thanks!
