I was idly looking at the front of my coach, planning the mounting of my new trans cooler and happened to notice that the rubber mounts holding the AC condenser had more or less disintegrated on the driver's side. Closer inspection showed that the condenser had moved back toward the radiator a good inch and a half. It was hard to see if it was touching the radiator end cap but when I gently pushed and pulled it would come toward the front of the coach but not go back further.
I am afraid that if it was going to be against the radiator for long it could wear a hole. I am devising a "U" strap that will hold it in place and still allow it to sit on the rubber "grommets".
My coach is a '74 and I am sure this has been discussed, but searches on AC condenser gets me lots of Onan discussion. (condenser for the spark)

Best Wishes,
George

George,
Why don’t you go and buy replacement mounts? I will be about $15 for 4 incl. shipping +/-.
