Re: Oh Lordy, I now own a Fordy (a Lincoln actually)..
I need to get one of the unique A/C hoses rebuilt for my Grandfather's 1971 Lincoln Continental. The hose was rubbing against the master cylinder, and wore a hole in the rubber section of the hose. These cars were unique in that they used a GM A6 compressor and the complete Frigedaire A/C setup just like any 1970's GM car. No one makes the replacement hoses for them.
Does anyone out there recommend a specific shop that can replace the rubber hose section and reattach the ends (or replace them)? Thanks.

Re: Oh Lordy, I now own a Fordy (a Lincoln actually)..
Someone on the CRG had modified/made a set of dies for a Weatherhead hydraulic crimping machine to replicate the factory crimp on the AC hoses (your appear to have the same crimp), you will have to do a site search as it was a few years ago if memory serves.

Re: Oh Lordy, I now own a Fordy (a Lincoln actually)..
I ended up sending the hose to Classic Auto Air in Tampa. They gave me a price of $112 to redo the hose with my ends. Hopefully done in a week or two...or as soon as the cold weather hits.
I did find an NOS Ford hose for the other side high pressure line for $45!
