    I’m no expert but I believe old AC systems worked by cycling the pump on/off as was required to maintain the refrigerant at the correct T’s and P’s where as the newer systems run the pump continuously and use a valve to regulate the flow of the refrigerant.

    There is 3 Allen key plugs you use. They come in a lot from memory. I got mine from precision international.

    If you want it lower and under bonnet. Look into k frame spacers and the CTSV lid

    Yeah but is it that much of an issue?

    Once you’re over 400rwhp on street tyres you’re traction limited anyway..

    You will actually find they are better. Whilst the don’t have as good a brick, they are capable of flowing more air.

    So a custom tubular  K frame is not legal either then?

    Highly unlikely.

    My mate with a VP used 25mm spacers and a ctsv hat. It JUST fit.

    I have a feeling you have even less clearance.

    Will mess with the driveline angles, might get away with it or maybe needs correction, hard to tell each car is different.
