Hans-

Last year I added AC to a 71 142 using a Sandon 508 compressor and a cross flow condensor supplied by a custom shop. I found the under dash stuff at a junk yard. I used an expansion valve that should be good for 134A but at this point I am using a product called Duracool that is a replacement for R12. The only thing else I should have done is install an electric fan to improve cooling at idle. The hoses were made a local parts house.

Sorry I can't help you with RHD bracket issue. If you can weld and use a cutting torch you should be able to make something work.

I am restoring a 71 142S and a 72 142E so any information about sources for parts would be appreciated.

Let me know if I can provide any further assistance.
