Hello all, with this long drawn out project moving along I am into replacing the evaporator. I have it all out and the box disassembled. Heres the snag. I have at tube/fin style evaporator every parts place keeps sending me a plate/ fin style which will not correctly fit in the hvac box and has no provision for the evaporator temperature probe. I order online based off of pictures which show the correct one in the picture but get sent the wrong one. Has anybody encountered this and have a solution? Thanks for the help

I have called jeepair.com and spoke to a rude S.O.B who said that they did not carry the tube and fin any longer. I have not tried UAC. But I called radiators.com and even they had a hard time finding one with all the suppliers they deal with. He found one and they are actually local so
I plan to go take a look at it today. And still i dont want to dump $400 on am evaporator at wholesale cost at the dealer.
