Its really weird.
Where does one purchase this? Will this work with R12 also?

Just went through my 84 300D last year and had to have two hoses rebuilt (in addition to the usual suspects).
I've yet to look into rebuilding a few hoses, can you let me in on what that ran you?

I need to do the lil one from the Dryer/Accum to the Condensor (or just buy it new if I could find it!) and the one from the Dryer/Accum to the Expansion Valve (it's about $80).

That's all I still need to do aside from order some R12 now from ebay.
