Thanks for the input. Yes it iS the rubber portion. I had thought of doing a splice on it if I can find the right size (10mm) inline connector. Being the compression side I know it is under the most stress so I was somewhat worried about that.
I had not thought of getting the hose replaced - didn't think they could replace the crimped ends? I will have to see if we have an A/C shop around that can do that.
Thanks! - If anyone has a hose I'm still looking though.
I picked up a new dryer, a replacement condenser, belt and was ready to try to rejuvenate the A/C in my 88 TC when I found the A/C hose form the compressor to the condenser has been rubbing against the idler pulley and ruined the hose since the PO didn't have a belt on it.
This is not available through local parts stores either...
Does anyone have a good used hose for sale? I believe the 2.3 Turbo versions are different than the other engine versions from what I've seen but if anyone can clear that up it would be appreciated as well.
So why not just find a nice sport bird to do up a v8 in and leave the NICE tc's to the people that want a NICE TC?
Just sayin....its getting harder to come by a nice tc every day.
Totally agreed.. there are plenty of regular birds out there that can have a 5.0 to go in a straight line - TC's should stay as TC's. Have you even heard the TC yet? They are not ricers for sure.
