Default Did I do this right? Venting
I got my new on A/C last night, but there were zero instructions. It is an easy enough process to figure out, but I want to make sure I got the venting part right. See attached pictures.

Thanx!

Looks good, only thing I would have done different is to use braided stainless hose and spin the clamps around to the back so you just see the strap not the nut/clamp part.

It is an ebay special. But you can also get it through J&P and Dennis Kirk. Ibelive the brand is Zodiac. The ebay kit comes with the performance machine bracket kit. Here is the ebay link:

That's the smart way to do it, alright. Lol...if it hangs low, it usually ends up becoming more of an oil collector if you ride pretty frequently.
