Some rubber AC hoses on my 944 are cracked, and I need to replace them. These are regular-looking bulk hoses that plug onto metal tubing. A local store carries only SAE sizes of the so-called 'barrier hose', and they are far off. What I need is two sizes:
1) plugs onto metal tube of 10 mm outer diameter
2) plugs onto metal tube of 14 mm outer diameter
Where can I buy it?
Since it's so hard to buy metric fasteners etc. in North America, I started thinking about shipping from Germany, or Europe in general. Anybody knows a good store in Europe (with crew that speaks Engilish) that I could mail order these hoses from?
Thanks, Stan
P.s. Getting it from a dealer is not an option for me know, as they only sell the complete assemblies, and way above my budget for repair of the AC.

Check with EBS Racing in Sparks Nevada; I recently ordered stock, original, new a/c hoses from them - normally at the dealer they would have run about $400 - I think I paid about $75 including shipping. I believe he keeps a stock of them as well.

I've been making a/c (and hydraulic) lines for 28 years as a sideline business to my starter-alternator deal.

Thanks, I'll check with EBS Racing.
Doug, originality is not a big deal for my AC system, and although changing fittings sounds good, I don't have access to a welder.

Ranchu products in Nevada sells bulk hoses as well as all sorts of impossible to find parts. Evaporator for my RX7 springs to mind.
