Unobtainium A/C Piping Connector

I need one of these ac line connectors, but they’re on national backorder, and seem to be out of stock everywhere (even eBay).

Is there an aftermarket substitute?

Part #: 88718-01190

 

I called a dealer, even the tube Assy doesnt come with it.

 

Thanks for trying!

This is definitely a first. There has never been a part that I couldn’t find on the World Wide Web until now.

 

This?

I spoke with them today, they don’t have it in stock.

 

How about checking one of those you pick it junk yards? Granted, it wont be new out the box but it would work in a pinch. Just be careful if the AC system still has a charge on it.

pick a part or junk yard?

 

I welded fittings onto mine. I looked for these clamps for forever and no luck.

 

I was able to find one fitting in stock. Probably one of the last in the country.

I’ll try to reuse the other cracked fitting and cross my fingers.
