Hi,
I was not happy with the service I was getting on my a/c since it required re-fill every few months. So I decided to do it myself. Checked around for leaks and couldn't find one. Bought a vacuum manifold with hoses then found out the a/c ports have ID (inside) threads. When checking the ports, I found the leak... it was coming from the port near the firewall.
Does anyone know how I can replace this?
Can I just replace the fitting?
Where I can get parts?
What is the thread size for the these ports/fittings?
And where can I get an adaptor/nozzle for my vacuum manifold hoses so it can attach to these ID threads when I go to refill refrigerant?
Lastly, I'm a machinist. So what do you think if I were to make a fitting that would screw onto the existing leaking port and hold a new port?
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks
