TJ A/C Compressor on Jeep Forum $75, Great for OBA

<< < (2/2)

As soon as I figure out the ultimate fix for melting the hose comming out of the compressor, I will do a write up w/ pics.  I found some hose good for 200 deg on the Kilby website.  Its made by  Goodyear and I can buy it by the foot.  They also sell some super high quality hose ends.  I can't figure out how to order from thier website so I guess I have to call.

use braided teflon hose w/ AN hose fittings.  Summitracing.com

Rocket,good call on the braided hose.  I went with Jegs since they carry a AN-6 to 1/4NPT adaptor and I couldn't find them on summit.  3ft of hose, 2 AN-6 hose ends, and 2 AN-6 to 1/4 NPT adaptors with S/H cost me $45.  I will now have about $145 in my system, but still a lot cheaper then a lot of systems.  I am now thinking I should have just cut up my A/C hoses, but that would rendered the A/C unit junk since the high press hose went directly to the under dash unit.  I sold the A/C unit for $50, so I guess I am still a few bucks ahead.   ;)  By the way the braided hose/ fittings are good up to 1000 psi!!!

and the steel braiding protects agains abrasion, and it just plain looks good!
