Re: [AMC-list] a/c o ring male tube end

["Armand Eshleman" <aje1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the reply Mark, I need to fabricate  a few tubes to a certain 
length, not just refit with new O ring. And yeah, that's exactly why I
want to convert all the A/c for the Javelin to O ring style, the flare crap 
leaks.

The tube is held in place by a brass like or plated nut, there's a raised 
ring around the tube that the nut uses to hold the tube in place.
The area of the tube under the O ring is a larger diamter than the tube 
itself, sort of the standard type stuff that was used around 74 and later.
I did get one tip locally, I was told to go to an implement dealer, they fit 
up A/c tubes on tractors I guess. I'm gonna try that early next week.
