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

[markprice242 <wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

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 -----
