AC compressor (Seiko 6542 1386 464 ) hose fitting?

[wcelliot]

Had an AC hose blow on my '92 E30 'vert... Hose was easy enough to find but despite being careful, we snapped the connector at the compressor (Seiko 6542 1386 464 ) . This part doesn't appear to be available and I've yet to find a used compressor without it broken...

Suggestions on where to find the connector/used compressor/etc?

Thanks!
Bill

You can depin the connector and plug it in without the housing, I used a zip tie to keep it together

Sorry I didn't describe the problem better; the connector we snapped was the high pressure hose to compressor connector; fits where I have the yellow plastic plug in the photo. Thanks!! Bill

Let me know if you can't locate... I have a old compressor I can remove from, but I'm on west coast.

Yours is the first one I've seen! Glad to pay for it and shipping if you don't mind sending! Thanks! Bill

Can do, I sent you an invoice.

Sympathy from my end, as I just went through a similar situation... ordered a remanufactured Bosch compressor on eBay, and they sent one without the large hose fitting and not as pictured/advertised - I had to chase one down.

Sorry, typo on my email... PM'd you the correct one.
