Ac hoses
 
So tuesday i went out to a local junkyard to take a look at how an ac sytem comes together.. I noticed the ac hoses were actually installed with hose clamps with some sort of stop so you clamp it exactly wher it needs to go.. my question is .. can i just buy like 20ft of hose, i mean do they sel it by the foot? any ideas are welcome

Yes, you can buy the hose by the foot. Places like vintage air, old air products, ect should have everything you need. The clamps work ok, but sometimes leak. I would buy all crimp on ends, pre assemble it yourself, then have a hose shop crimp them.

It looks like heater hose, but it ain't!

Back in the day, I worked at an ESSO station and we installed Mark IV add-on units. Hose came in a bulk quantity, cut to fit.
