Re: Help with A/c hoses
Tagging as I want to do the same with my 83.
Shops around here used to make AC hoses (had one made for my Jeep CJ at Oreillys) but they don't do it anymore. |

If you mount the compressor,,, you can find a local AC shop to make some hoses. If you wanted to buy the hose and fittings,, you could cut and orient the fittings to fit well, mark with a sharpie and take them to a shop for crimping. I have the crimper to make my own hoses and bought the items from "cold hose" online |

Re: Help with A/c hoses
You can buy a crimper from ebay for like 64 and just do them yourself. Yeah it may be a thing you only use once on a project but it saves you from running back and forth from AC shop that would crimp lines for you. You can buy 134 hose from internet and fitting relatively cheap compared to having a shop just crimp them for you. That is what I did

Re: Help with A/c hoses
cold hose will sell you the parts, and you can send them in and they'll crimp them for you as well.
