Farm implement or mining supply, also tractor trailer shops . We have an aeroquip dealer about 1.5 mile from my house, main business is over the road trucks. They run a repair service 24/7 for line replacements. I've gone by at 2:00 am and seen the shop door on and the service truck sitting there. Depending on size, you may be able to make what you need from the nozzle of a caulking tube? tapered and smooth plastic. ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Armand Eshleman" <aje1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > To: "Rambler AMC, Nash, Jeep and family" <amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Sunday, January 22, 2012 10:21:46 AM > Subject: Re: [AMC-list] a/c o ring male tube end > Thanks for the reply Mark, I need to fabricate a few tubes to a > certain > length, not just refit with new O ring.
