Default O-rings for AC system

I thought for sure I saw someone post the size and quantiy O-rings to completely replace them in the system.

Can someone direct me to this?

Default O-rings

Buy a HF kit with the green O-rings for less $10 and you'll have all the seizes you'll need

Ya..the only two that -matched- were 14mm and 17mm. I bought one of those as well.

Instead, I just asked Roger "Send me enough to do it all 2x" and then by part number, and exact sizes, I'll be covered.

Just...didnt want something .2mm too thin and a shade too large or small to become a problem down the road.

I found the HF kit online and zoomed the picture. They do no list the O-rings with metric sizes.

This link on amazon does that but it appears that some are close to what is needed?

I did that in 1998, before Dave had a box on top of the page. He sent me a care package that had all the rings that PET listed. There are some that aren't listed though, like the ones in the compressor manifold plates and the end seals. Local guy had them and rebuilt my hoses. You'll have to ask the big three if they actually make enough on assembling a kit to justify the aggravation.

I dont pay attention to ads, they dont work on me.

I follow others experience thru _qualified_ vendors.


FWIW, the dumbest ad ive seen on here, is for AutoShag.com.

I took a screen cap of it, sent it to a m8 in the UK, laughed pretty hard.

Ed,

that list you list doesnt have the 4 most important o-rings and that is the 4 that go between the compressor and the line plate.

That AD box at the top of the page is for the Sponsor of this 928 Forum. Might be worthwhile to click on that one for parts, probably one of only three or four qualified vendors. Pelican has their own Forum.
Just a thought.

We sell the AC O ring kits for each variation of our cars - $10 to $17 - depending what you drive.

Check PET for the individual part numbers but be aware most have been superceded
