Mk1 Air Con Pipes

[gazmech]

Where can I get mk1 galaxy air con pipes from. I need the ones from the back of the compressor to where ever they join. Tried scrap yards and even eBay and none. Dealer prices are going to be silly so won't bother going there. Any ideas?

Some of the mk.I pipes were difficult to get hold of, even from dealers - they were permanently 'on order' when I was last looking, although the position may have changed by now. I was wondering if they had ceased manufacturing them anymore and were relying on remaining stock.

 

The pipes were very expensive from the dealer, in any case. I would think the best bet would be to find an aircon specialist who can make replacement pipes up for you.

...or alternatively, they could probably repair what you have.

One pipe has been cut and crimped buy the last owner and where they have cut it one part is missing.

If they can't make a complete pipe up, it should be fairly straightforward to cut the old bits back and make a joining piece to make up the missing bit.

There are no specialists in my area Paul.

You should be able to find someone who does mobile aircon servicing, but it might be worth having a chat over the phone first to make sure they have the facilities to repair the pipework. Alternatively, you could try refrigeration engineers, or even agricultural service engineers - most modern tractors and the like have aircon, and they always want the aircon working!

 

Failing all that, it's a case of waiting for the pipes coming up on fleabay, which they do occasionally.
