I am close to finishing, the AC compressor that came with the SR has some different fittings than the US compressors. My 95 s14 does not have AC. Of course the clip is a RHD clip, so the hoses that came with it are too short to reach the other side where I am going to put in the cooling unit. How did you guys get around this issue. Did you buy new hoses? If so from where? Did you cut and extend your hoses if so what fittings did you use and how did you do the hard line? Did you get hoses fabricated?

Thanks

took it to a fittings/brake hose shop.i installed everything and where i wanted the splice between the sr hose and the ka hose i marked. then removed everything and took it to the shop and told them to splice it there.

Use all of the US lines up until you get to the compressor. then mark both lines near the compressor where you can cut and have someone weld to two lines together....The person who welds mine for me charges $20....
