I was just wondering if anyone knew of a place that sold pre-bent air conditioning lines, similar to the way numerous places sell fuel and brake lines... i need a line for my 69 that goes from the drier to the condenser, and my old line is cut in 3 pieces and bent around so bad that it cant really be used as a guide to make a new one... I have deparately been trying to find a place that sells this line new... with no luck. I have found a guy someone referred me to in a previous post, but he cant make me a new line without having the old one... surely some of you have replaced these aluminum lines on your AC... where did you get the new ones?

Joey, I had to buy a USED line from a boneyard and then send it to Vintage air in Fla. to have it reproduced. To my knowledge no one makes repop AC lines. Good luck...Albert

thanks guys! I just sent Hinshaws an e mail... hopefully they have one... were the lines you saw new or used? Doesnt really matter, as long as its functional. I cant find one ANYWHERE locally.

I have purchased the dual hose assembly you are speaking of from old air products in Fort Worth. The number is (817) 531-2665. They say they are the manufacturer for the supplier mentioned above. I have been very happy with the product including a compressor and the conversion kit for my 69 big block. I was informed however that the big block hose and the small block hose are not the same. Big block was one year only.

whoa... are we talkign about HOSES or LINES? I dont need any hoses, i need the aluminum hard line that runs from the reciever/drier to the bottom of the condenser.. did Hinshaws have thse, or did he just have hoses? I sent an e mail to them yesterday but havent got a reply... im wondering if its because they dont have them.
