I've just realized that the PO did some modifications to the AC system. The high-side hoses where fitted with screw-on ferrules to attach the rubber hoses, instead of permanent crimped-style ferrules, similar to the attached pics. The hard lines are still intact, but the fittings were brazed on or fitted with adapters. It's kinda cool, cause now I can replace just the rubber portion of the high-side, not the whole thing.

Will an AC shop sell me just the rubber hose by the foot?

Are these screw-on hose ferrules better than the crimped style?

It would be great to have someone make the oil cooler lines this way, so all that needs to be changed is the rubber when it goes bad.
