A/c hose problem
Ok, I screwed up bigtime, while putting the hose back onto the accumalator I stripped the threads. Can these hoses be rethreaded or do I have to buy a new one?
It is the hose going to the evaporator.
Thanks,
The big dummy

A/c
I had the lower A/C hose that goes from the evaporator core to the condenser go bad. I checked with the local hydraulic hose place, but had no luck. I found a custom A/C shop that changed the bad end for me. So, if the hydraulic place can't help, maybe a good A/C shop can. They do make after market parts for custom applications. Good Luck!

Lastly, look at this post http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1466817
this guys will probably sell his 93 parts cheap since he hasn't used it for 4 years....
If its the Evap to Accumulator hose, please let me know where you found one... Just curious where your research will lead you...

Turned out, the new accumulator was stripped, I put the old back on and the hose went right on.
Thanks everybody for your responces.

One Year Wonders
I have a 1982 Collectors Edition, also. It's the only car of that year to use a hatch. Everything on that car is a one part wonder. It's a total nightmare. What I've learned over the years is to never buy a 1st year or last year production of any vehicle (or the 1st year of a change of interior, motor, etc) unless you plan to hold on to it for value or get rid of it later. Production runs in the middle seem to use more common parts, & remain more interchangable. They're more practicle for driving over the long haul.
