Is there any company that can make A/C refrigerant hoses for my 66 Lincoln that I am restoring. My mechanic has evacuated my system and I have leaks. Looks like I will need to rebuild my system. Any companies that can help with this? Any of you A/C mechanics? rteague50@hotmail.com

All I can offer at the present time is that there is hose made to be used for the application with clamps. There are few needing to do this anymore so I would go to a good A/C shop and inquire about same.

Alot of hydraulic hose shops are making them now. I deal with a place called Hose Makers (national franchise) and they make them.

I am rather surprised the shop you took it to doesn’t repair hoses.
Most, but definitely not all Parts stores repair and/or build hoses.
For your application I would think you will have to order the hose ends. But they can custom make hoses using yours as a template.
You could then have R134 ends installed at the same time and do the conversion.
