Love the clean look under the hood. I did a bunch of stuff on my old 1973 bronco to make it look "clean". Good work

I appreciate it everyone! I've had some other unrelated hiccups that have been slowing me down but I am back at it. I will be updating you all as soon as I can with some final pictures of the completed product

I'm working on some changes to them that will make the lines both easier to make (too many bends on the low pressure side right not), and easier to ship. Hoping to keep it cheap too because I know a lot of people would love to ditch the ugly oem lines if they could still keep AC

havent added anything to this lately. Heres some pics of some modified oem lines that will be used to test things out.



Pressure switch runs under the frame rail


going to run them in conjunction with this coolant overflow so that both things are hidden.

I haven't completely figured out the pricing yet. The final version of the AC lines will feature all billet aluminum machined fittings though. I'm thinking it would be cool to offer the coolant overflow, ps relocation, and tucked lines as a kit but also offer the items separately as well. With that said, pricing will very reasonable when the time comes for me to start offering them. Gotta do the vendor status thing and all that first

^ I subscribed to this thread. I want mine once you're a vendor! Have you thought about an introductory group price as well?

Yeah I'd love to do a group buy. I could move things along quicker if I just continue to modify the oem lines but the billet fittings I've drawn up are really badass, much cleaner, and won't drive the cost much higher overall.

Tubing is 5/8" iirc. The tubes I use are mandrel bent and the ends are crimped to keep the hoses from popping off. I've got the reservoir mounting brackets cut already, I'll have to snap a pic and post what they look like.
