What did you guys do for lines. Im trying to get custom lines made But I need to find the ends for the Compressor, does anyone know where I can just find those? I cant see paying 249 for a set of lines.

I got my parts from ACKITS.com and had the fittings pressed at a local A/C shop for $20. I haven't bothered to put it back on since the M54 swap, it's nice even for the mild Seattle summers.

The fittings you're after are called "pad" fittings...I found this to be a solution:

what are "pad" fittings? are you cutting that line to get the fitting?

sorry not much of an expert with a/c lingo.

Pad fittings are the figure 8 style fittings on each end of the hose...it's just a generic term for them:


I couldn't find anything suitable aftermarket, so the above hose was used as a donor for the fittings.

From memory, orca and the like suggest buying a pair of E36 hoses to get the fittings.
