As part of my resto, I'm going to be swapping out the OE AC hoses for new ones. Any one have a good source for these? They ain't cheap...

TIA,
Qdude

 

Hydraulic supply houses can make hoses from scratch in many cases.

 

Would they be able to re-use the metal ends? I know they have special bends/configurations...

 

Should be able to. I had a NAPA make hybrid hoses from my 22RE and 5VZ ends. Then I heard about using 3.0 hoses from the boneyard and swapping the compressor top.

DOH!

 

Ok, called about this and they CAN make a new one using the OE metal ends, but it would mean NOT changing out the orifice tube. Translation: if I want to do it right, I need to get all new hoses.

Any sources???
