Humm, just when I thought I had this one figured out...Micale throws Barrier Hose at me. After Googling I'm now educated, but...which hose(s) should be replaced & do all new/replacement hoses have the barrier construction (one would think so)? I'll take car over to my AC guy & ask him, then add that to my winter project (right now with the recharge it is working ok, but I would like to get the newer condenser & barrier hose(s) for any added improvement). Actually easier than I anticipated. I thank you Nick, I was kinda concerned finding the right condenser & making own brackets, etc., but now find that Summit has a Spectra condenser with all stock fittings, etc. for only $95.97.
Love this site, I like to occasionally peruse various posts & get educated on the way, & have solved more than one concern of my own; a great bunch of enthusiasts (& love to follow hits on/by Papa Lou).
