I have to replace my ac evap core, and unfortunately Delorean is out at the moment.

A friend sent me a link to deloreango with some available. Anyone have any experience with them?

Arran and the team there are very solid with incredibly fast shipping. I've spent a thousands with them (as well as the other main vendors). You should have no issues.

DeloreanGo got it to me quickly and it fits perfectly. No concerns.

I have one in Richmond from Hervey that I did not use.

I just received an evap core (and heater core) from DeloreanGO. The evap core is a one to one replacement in size and shape. The only thing to note with the DeloreanGO evap core is, it does not come with the fine mesh screen on it, save the the one that's on your old core to transfer it over. It's just hot glued on so it's easy to remove and you can hot glue it onto the new one.

I have bought quite a bit from DGo. (Injectors, braided lines, fuel distributor, CPR just to name a few). Some of their parts are great, some (like their OE fuel pump) are absolute junk. Given the labor of an evaporator R+R, I would get the best money can buy because you don't want to do it again.

Good thing. It's a horrible fit.

I have the hervey evaporator core in my car and i have regretted it since day one. Luckily though it does not leak. It is significantly smaller than the stock unit, I am suspect of it affecting my AC system performance.

To echo what Michael said, this is a high labour part. I would make sure you are installing a quality unit. Some items sold by Dgo are of very poor quality. I have a history (as well as others) of blowing out bushings of theirs for example. Very scary to have happen on the freeway.

That aside, DGo's version is the only one I see presently available. Other vendors are OOS. Likewise the heater core.

All the vendors get the evap cores from over seas, I wouldn’t be surprised if they get shipments from Ed to sell as he purchases them in large bulk quantities.

Maybe your old one is repairable. If you damaged one of the pipes, they can be repaired by a competent shop. That may be an option for you. It is one of the biggest jobs you can do on a Delorean, you have to dismantle the whole dash.

It's aluminum and is very thin metal at that. Given the labor involve replacing it, I would never trust a repaired unit.

My thought was maybe it can be repaired without taking it all apart. If you can find the right kind of connector maybe you could cut the damaged piece off and stick another one on. I agree I would not take the whole car apart to put something in I can't trust.

I am thinking this is the case.

Hard no on that one. Our cores are made in the United States here in Ohio.

We assemble end tanks on radiators, braze evap core tubes/heater core tubes and pressure test in house.

Yeah, unfortunately you appear to be presently OOS on both the evap and heater cores. Not that I'm in a hurry, but I'll need both in due course.

We assemble as needed for use in house. We have a finite amount of available man hours due to extreme staffing issues. Our core focus is on completing builds and service work. Our post was more to make a correction on the assertion that we should be lumped in with the other over seas sellers.
