Restoration continues

Hello

I you want to know what I am talking about go out to your heat pump or AC condensing unit & look at the line sets. The larger of the two lines will be covered with insulation called Rubatex. Very soft & it will mold around the linesets. You may be able to buy at Lowes or H D but for sure you can get it through your local AC supply store. Just remember to place a section back against the case & then a section on the outside before the cover goes on.  

I have the same situation with my V110 where the lines sets pass behind a section of trim with the cover. I have not started on that machine so let me look at it & get back.

Thanks Kevin,
I have a highschool friend who has an AC business
so I'm pretty sure he would know what I need.

Hey Kevin... I'm not sure where you're talking about... I just spent Saturday taking apart my 81.. pretty solid but when I put it back together I want it to be the last time. Anyway I'm wanting to know what to put under the liner to help it keep dry and prevent rust to both it and the “shelf” of the machine body... Didn't look like there was much in between I was thinking of using some of that pink insulation foam board. Now this is an older machine so it may be made different that the one being restored here. The only lines I see go under a little chrome/steel shield that has two screws that protect them and run up to the fan under the bottle shelving. Anyways sorry to get off the subject of this restoration.... I'll start my own topic once I figure out what I'm doing (or doing wrong). Your machine is looking good so far!

Kevin, choice of insulation will not prevent rust. Make sure the inner liner does not allow water to enter the cabinet.  Special attention to fitting drain pipe
