I suspect some modern ones have no glass because it’s cheaper to make and unnecessary as I understand it, for 134. Of course my car runs r-12, and many years later now it’s no worse for not having it. It blows cold without any major concerns from me. But I always do wish it was there!

re: the oil
I remember how carefully I drained the factory oil from my new R4 compressor, and how I measured and filled with proper amount the oil I wanted to use (I wanted an oil I could use with either r12 or r134) - all to see half/most of it spill on my garage floor when I tried to install the manifold once I'd mounted the compressor! argh. I then had to estimate/guess how much I lost and inject it in above the compressor on the low-side line when I had the shrader valve out for replacement.

In the past I have always sent a message to Dmitry at Pelican concerning scams or highly offensive posts. He has always responded and taken down the post in question.

Thanks one and all for all the great tips and advice.
As it turns out, I was mistaken about my mechanic still doing R12 work. He does not. So I will switching to R134a it seems. Does anyone have tips on mail ordering hoses? I live in a very remote area out here and it's not so easy to get anything done in person. |

AC Hoses
I'd try the M-B Classic Center first but there are plenty of places every where (LOTS of Hot Rods up North) that will make up AC hoses using your old ones for patterns....
BE SURE TO WRITE YOU NEED THE OLD HOSES BACK ! . The custom made to fit one might well be cheaper too . The modern 'barrier' typ I hear about are thinner and blue in color on the ones I've seen .

I've found replacements for some of the AC hoses, but several are NLA.
A shop has offered to rebuild my AC hoses by removing the metal ends and welding hose barbs to them, and then using an off-the-shelf hose (with Oetiker clamps or similar, I assume). I like this idea as it would future-proof the car (if any hoses need replacing in the next few decades it would be easy). He can only do this if the hose ends are steel, not aluminum. Any info on what metal the hose ends are? Any opinions/experience with this particular approach? |

Thank you, that's good news! Now I'm thinking about just making all the hoses myself. The bead lock tool is not super expensive and I've found a source for metric bead lock fittings, and I'm pretty sure someone on the forum did a write up of their own rebuild. Even with buying the tool and fittings, it might be cheaper than paying a shop to do it. |
