Ferrari Mailing List: Looking for some advice

[BRITT ROTHMAN (britt2asa]

Hi guys,
In about 2 years I need to do the next full service for the 512tr. At that time 
I plan to update all the fuel lines to E15 proof (Scuderia Ramparte seems to be 
able to do this using the old lines and the reusing the existing ends) and 
update all the oil lines with modern hose from SR as well but I have a question 
on the AC lines.

In the USA is it pretty easy to get AC lines replaced with modern R134A 
compliant rubber and by using the same existing factory ends. ( rebuilding the 
rubber hose part essentially). I still have the original ( dated 1992) AC lines 
on the car and at some point I will run out of R12 and need to change the gas ( 
and the compressor). So thinking ahead and because this type of thing is not so 
easy to do in Sweden, is it pretty easy to get done in the USA and any idea who 
I would contact? I’m in the USA 3-4 times per year so the logistics isn’t 
difficult and I want to have a set of hoses good to go for when the time 
comes….. and I see used AC lines for the 512tr are pretty cheap so I can buy 
some used ones, rezinc plate the ends and have the rubber updated….. but is it 
easy to get done?
Thanks
