Reply With QuoteYou could try and get the fittings from a wrecker then any good air con shop could make them work. If the fitting is a standard type they may even have off the shelf items to make up from. I had my local air con guuy make up new lines for the compressor in my 80 series cruiser. It had a latr engine and compressor unit but previous owner bodgied up the mounts. So I got some old lines from the later model and the good air con guy in town has the proper sweat welding equip to do the lines like OEM. He simply used the later model compressor fittings and the older model condensor and firewall fittings and welded the pads to right pipes with new crimp sections then crimped new hoses on. Now all new, fits perfectly and looks totally original. The key is the welding process as the pipes don't lend themselves to be TIG welded which I could have done myself.
but when I asked him about it prior he said it was not a big or hard job so the expectation was under hundred not hundreds.
