Pay attention to Rad Rides builds. They use those a lot.

I used this on the 69 Camaro I built for my wife. I bought the fittings/hose from Vintage air and got all the clips/cages/seals from ebay. There was a guy that sold kits.

Excellent product and hose is a lot more flexible than standard AC hose. Being able to install without going to hydraulic shop to crimp lines is definitely worth it.

Right va resells them at a markup ... Looking for suppliers that sell these products without buying 50 foot of hose an without doubling the prices

Also I am pissed at vintage air for taking over 15 days and counting to get me my front runner :bur2:

Zoro Tools/Grainger sells them too. Not sure if the prices are any good. I get 20% coupons from Zoro all the time.

I bought a kit with the crimp tool and various clip and cage sizes. I used this on my '52 Chevy truck build for AC lines and for heater hoses - works awesome.

I got all of my stuff from Murdock Supply.

It took me some time to find the site - it had changed since the last time I used them, but I think site essentially links back to Murdock as the supplier.

I used them on my 69 Camaro and would highly recommend them. As previously mentioned they are extremely flexible which gives you a lot more options on how you route your A/C lines, you don't have to take them anywhere to have them crimped and they have a cleaner look.

On the downside there are not as many fittings offered and it does cost more, but it's worth the extra money.

I bought a kit off eBay. Do a search on "EATON E-Z Clip System". This kit included the crimper, cutter and enough cages and o-ring in various to make more hoses than most of of would make in a lifetime.
