RE: [DML] A/C System Questions.

Jim:

Did you give the A/C Shop some type of specification for making up the new
hoses prior to threading the new hoses through the frame I assume using the
old ones? If so I would appreciate a copy....If not how were you able to
thread the new cables through the frame if the old ones had already been
removed so the A/C shop could fabricate the new ones?

I replaced both of the AC hoses in my car- Same story as Jonas, but mine
cost $50 for each hose. I also had them put in a male/female inline
connector so that i could "thread" the hoses through the frame without
lifting the body from the frame. It changed a day job into an hour job. 

If you take off the old hoses, you can bring them into an AC repair shop
and they should be able to reconstruct something of the same length.
