I've got a problem. My stock A/C lines(metal to rubber to metal) need to be mated to the metal ends of my AE101 A/C lines.
Does anyone know of a way to make a high pressure line that would work for this? I thought about finding some really thick rubber hose and then using several very tight clamps on the end of the hose where it goes over the metal parts. Does anyone know if this would work? Also, doesn't the A/C system only push about 40 PSI max through the lines? -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
