Contrary to popular belief, the A/C fittings on the subject vehicle are SAE, not metric.
Yes I have heard that and it's probably true given that the system seems to be an adaptation of typically American-used parts.

But the sizes I mentioned do fit well, and when you are finished with the AC repair can be used for other things on the (mostly) metric car.
