Bolts needed.... Reply #2 – August 07, 2010, 10:16:49 PM I got it figured out.I went to Lowe's and just got hex head bolts. I wanted the round headed torx bolts,but,I'm done and happy.Now ALl I have to do is get the funds ($250.00) to have the conversion to R134 and system charged. The professional will mount the hoses.He told me he'd rather do that,I'm not arguing. Quote Selected

Bolts needed.... Reply #5 – August 07, 2010, 11:19:20 PM That's the high figure. I'll shop around.It'll include installing the lines,cleaning out the evaporator,the conversion,charging the system,and making Gayle happy.Her Honda has a/c of course,but the Sport doesn't,and she will NOT ride in the Bird in this heat.....can't blame her.The place,"Olde and New" has a warranty and really tend to business.It's all they do.They did my friend's '68 Stang a/c conversion. I really hate to spend that much,but,it's probably pretty much on par with other places around here.No need for bolts now,everything is done and buttoned up.I've done all I cna do.It'll be up the the pros now.I do need to clean the Sport now.She deserves it.

Bolts needed.... Reply #7 – August 07, 2010, 11:37:56 PM I have the lines.two of the three are brand new. As I said,I'll be shopping around,but probably will end up with those folks unless someone can shoot me a much lower price. Quote Selected
Bolts needed.... Reply #8 – August 08, 2010, 12:13:46 AM Vinnie, I'm just trying to help. Here in Ma. they charge $70 to $80 to service the ac, plus the R134, which costs about $20 per pound. Your car should take no more then 2lbs 8oz. of R134, new o-rings and springs will cost $20, 8oz ac oil will cost $12, $8 for the fittings, your cost should be no more then $150. Vinnie, I done hundreds of conversions before my buddy bought a ac machine, and done hundreds more since. If they are getting that kind of money out there for ac work, that is what you should be doing in the summer, the whole conversion takes less then 45 minutes. Lopez Quote Selected
Bolts needed.... Reply #9 – August 08, 2010, 08:13:07 AM Thanks a lot.I appreciate any and all help.I'll let you know what happens.The R134 is about $7.00 per can here.Not too bad. Hopefully I will get out cheaper in the end than $250,but,choices in this part of Oklahoma are slim. Quote Selected
