Reply to "One of the last SAS Cabriolets"

Just for contrast information, I sold my AC crimper kit when I retired to the islands thinking I was out of the car fabrication hobby.

I had hoses made for the speedster, but had to change the design when the bullhead mounted condenser picked up too much heat from the internal oil cooler.

I added another condenser in the front wheel well but decided to give the barb and hose clamp fittings a try (I had a bunch that had been included in earlier kits I bought for the Porsches).

Short story, dip the barbs in PAG oil and they slide right in. The clamps hold tight and the system holds vacuum and pressure just fine. If any of you are considering buying a crimper kit, try the barb fittings. You can save some money and mine work fine.

For example:
