A/C condenser 2 types?

I'm hope the collective knowledge of BF can help me with this one...
Just fitted a nearly new AC condenser to my bongo unfortunately the large screw fitting by the high pressure valve is a different size, other than that all is identical. Anyone come across this before and know a way around it as the condenser is in such good condition that I would like to keep it. Ideally I would like to replace the pipe back to the pump but need to know which parts to order etc.
Thanks
Jim

Thanks, Just checked through seems to show the same part number 61-480 for every type of bongo listed.... Conecting pipe numbers are the same also. Could it be a Ford one?

I doubt it, I think the only real Ford compatibility is with the Ford Ranger engine, as that is front mounted & they have completely different ancillaries. I don't know that Ford supply any spares for the Freda?
May be worth trying any of the bongo breakers?

Looks as if I have got myself a V6 condenser which are ever so slightly different to the diesel item....
Would still like to try and plumb as it's in such good condition (and was only £25). Is there a parts list for the V6? Would be good to find out if there are any common parts elsewhere in the AC pipes spaghetti where I can bodge a cut and paste job.
Thanks again

Crikey, that was a good price. I just paid a lot more for a second hand one. Pleased to find it though.
