A/C Receiver Drier to Expansion Valve hose

[ktmall07]

I’m finally finishing up an A/C retrofit, and I’m kinda stuck.

 

The truck didn’t have A/C originally, but had a dealer install a generic system some time. I’ve replaced everything with a mostly stock system, except for the expansion valve, which I replaced with a new version of what was originally on there (some 4 seasons part) because to fit a stock expansion valve I’d have to tear into the firewall Andy replace the whole system, and I want to avoid that until I can’t. I need a new hose from the receiver drier to the expansion valve, with the same fitting on both sides unlike the stock system that has the thin fastener on the expansion valve side.

 

Has anyone seen a hose like this, and does anyone know where to find one? 
 

I need a longer version of the hose on the left in the first picture, on the right is a stock hose that is long enough, but has the wrong fitting on the expansion valve side.

Try Jeep Air but if I remember correctly this line is very hard to find.

Have one made at a local hose & fitting shop - we've done it many times for marine applications (boats are all funky and one-off)

 

Not that much $$

This is the best solution

That’s what I’ve decided. I cut out the fittings from the old hose and crimping, and am taking it to a shop to have a custom one made. Thanks guys!
