Get a new double pass unit bolts in stock location. These are much more efficient. Think I got mine from a major aftermarket AC place in Florida. Could be vintage air, but its a direct fit

Probably Original Air out of Tampa, I believe Vintage Air is in TX.

Looks like original, its black and has the side brackets on it. It did come from Tampa @ original air group. I think it too about 2 months to get it. ( that could be "covid" related).

Got a link to the guys you used? Possibly the same guys that want 1300 in shipping overseas, but then say it could actually be much less, and they will let me know once paid. Yeah.

https://www.originalair.com/72-81-fi...-parallel-flow ok that was these guys

Original Air is the main supplier of these and the cheapest. The Box is 20" X 7" x 40" ( inches) and 18 lbs.
Think I paid 100 to get it shipped 1600 miles.
I believe they ship through California to get these to Australia. There is 3200 miles right there in the US.
Either way , once shipped, its a month long trip I have found to Australia. Sidney is faster than Perth I have found too.
