Hello,
this is notregarding a c-body but more of a general question. Our daily driver has a leak in the ac liquid line (clearly a hole in it and jb weld wont do the trick). I found special compression fittings for a 5/16 AC line repair but am wondering if i should bend a new piece of tubing for it and splice that in with two of those fittings. The question is, what is different about 5/16 AC tubing vs fuel tubing? i have a bunch of alu tubing but that is fuel line and i dont know if that holds the pressure. Anyone know? or where to get a foot of tubing for ac?
buying the replacement part is out of the question since its 400$ for some pre bent tubing.
