A/C Hose replacements

I need to replace the 2 main A/C hoses that run off of the rear of the compressor on my 87 and not having any luck finding any sources.
I did check with Ecklers and it is now a discontinued item.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

Hey Jim,
Check local AC shops, they should be able to make the hoses for you. I don't known any in the Bay Area, but there are some here in Sac.

Take what you have to a place that makes A/C hoses. I had to do that on the 69GTX.

Thanks Paul and also to you RLG.
Little did I realize when I set out to find replacement A/C hoses that this was going to be a difficult task.
I knew I was in trouble when my very reliable local automotive parts supplier came up blank.
Can't seem to find anyone here locally that makes up replacement sets and was hoping that I could find someone who would have something like this in stock?
Will keep looking....
Thanks again everyone.
Jim

Hey Jim, just run the air conditioner delete option. Your car will weigh less and go quicker. Lynette may not approve though. Willie

Hard to believe there is no A/C shop in the area that makes hoses.

Thanks,
I might have to take it under consideration if I can't find something here.
Prefer new A/C hoses but will keep you in mind.
