Hi all,
I'm only posting in General because of a time constraint. I finally collected all the parts to retrofit my A/C to r-134a. All new hoses, receiver dryer, I rebuilt my NipponDenso compressor, etc. Everything was going great, until it was time for me to connect the new suction pipe to the compressor. Apparently, at some point the size of the connection changed and the hose is about 3mm larger than the connecter on the compressor. The connector attaches with two Allen screws, so I was wondering if anyone knows where to get a plate with a larger connector, if anyone HAS a plate with a larger connector, or if it just doesn't exist? I'm pretty put out right now because my car is (once again) out of service until I sort this out, and I'm nervous I spent the time and money rebuilding the wrong compressor...
Any help would be great, thanks!

P.S. The plate I'm referring to is on the right on this compressor. You can also see the difference in hose size in the next picture.


And no, that is not the rebuilt compressor.
