Jim: Did you give the A/C Shop some type of specification for making up the new hoses prior to threading the new hoses through the frame I assume using the old ones? If so I would appreciate a copy....If not how were you able to thread the new cables through the frame if the old ones had already been removed so the A/C shop could fabricate the new ones?

I replaced both of the AC hoses in my car- Same story as Jonas, but mine cost $50 for each hose. I also had them put in a male/female inline connector so that i could "thread" the hoses through the frame without lifting the body from the frame. It changed a day job into an hour job. If you take off the old hoses, you can bring them into an AC repair shop and they should be able to reconstruct something of the same length.
