Take the hose off, and persistently search for a place that will crimp the old ends on a new hose.  There are out there, but just keep searching.  Do not listed when they tell you no, keep looking, for it can be done.

  I know we have been talking about a/c stuff lately, but we need a little help.
    The hose that runs from the compressor to the condenser, does anyone know of a aftermarket source? This is the one that runs the full length of the Van. It is busted in the back by the motor, try to patch, but didn't work. Would like to get it fixed while we are doing some work on the Van.
     Any suggestions?
