LRDG Pattern condensers

[Charlie Down]

Hi Jordan,
To be honest I know little about the Jeep fittings. The condenser looks similar, but seems to be made of thinner gauge metal, especially the lid which is much thinner than the 1533X2 version. The dents also suggest a thin gauge metal for the sides, although the condenser location on the trucks would protect it from most knocks I suppose. I haven't checked the dimensions, but I suspect the jeep condenser would be smaller as it wouldn't need the same capacity as a truck, but the hose connection looks the same, although the vent tube is much shorter. I presume they would have been made in the same workshops, so similarities would be expected and to be honest the design would need to be the similar because of the avaliable materials and tooling.
