I have a 1992 Mazda Miata that the previous owner tried to convert to R13 with not much luck.
The line has a hole in it where the fitting once was.
First, Does anybody know where I can get a new line?
OR
Can the line be repaired and a new fitting welded in place?

Tis it aluminum or steel? I had an aluminum line welded up and repaired. Quite sure any welder can fix up a steel one too. Shall I inquire from a few friends?

I can't get the picture to load. It is the low side that has the fitting on it. The fitting has been twisted off

IF IT IS THE LINE FROM THE EVAP TO THE FLEXABLE LINE THAT GOES TO THE COMP IT IS DISCONTINUED AND NO DEALER IN THE US HAS ONE

Well if you own a Miata, you owe it to yourself to give the Parts Group a call.
I called them around 1pm today about the A/C line.
He had one.
I sent him a Paypal payment and I just got the tracking info with a note saying it would ship TODAY!!

All thanks to a fellow Badwebber that gave me there contact info

THANKS GARY!!

You gotta love this website!

Make sure when the shop pulls a vacuum on it to evacuate the A/C system they do a long/correct pull to get all the moisture out of the system. Water has a lower evaporation point under vacuum. Moisture is a BIG no no when it comes to A/C systems, especially R134a systems.

I'm guessing your converting to 134a because of the cost of R12.

Hey Mike! One of these days I will get to see that FAST Miata that you have. I would love to squeeze a blower under the hood of mine but the Buell habit gets all the extra cash for now. Check that link for The Parts Group. Lots of good stuff...

Thanks for everyones help. I got the part yesterday and installed it last night. Put a charge of R13 in it and I am hoping for the best. The "Boss" drove it to work and she hasn't called to say it isn't working.

No news is good news!!!
