The two hoses above the glove box were NLA last I looked. That's good to know, I didn't realize you could just have the hose upgraded to barrier.

No announcement yet.
Anyone made their own a/c hoses?

While all this was going on I actually spoke to Aeroquip who is the OE mfg and they gave me the specs on barrier vs non barrier hoses. They are rated in grams/hour/foot (or some other measurement) of hose. I believe the difference based on r134 was about 9X and those 2 hoses were leaking over their entire length.Seat Shocks....I have passed the baton to John Christy from Ninestitch.

I was in Charlotte at the time and I had to top up the system in the spring then another 2-3x through the summer. I would notice a drop in performance within a week or 2 of a recharge.
Ill add (from my soapbox) that if you diy this and have a vacuum pump getting a micron gauge is mandatory for good results. Vacuum should be down to 500microns (1000 is too high) and your manifold shows 30" over about an inch of gauge face. Take one of those tiny hash marks an divide it by 25400 with your eye then tell me where 500 is :)Seat Shocks....I have passed the baton to John Christy from Ninestitch.
