I think I have one of these.
or several.
it rides on the AC compressor, right ?
a metal pipe, about a foot long is what I remember.
( in my climate,. I often remove AC compressors and the bracket on the
engine .....so have a lot of them around - I should have this pipe.

if you have your old one, send a pic.
if you're interested in what I have, let me know.
thanks.

Subject: Need a/c part

Hello, ladies and gentlemen of the Vanagon list. I'm in the process of
rebuilding many of the systems in my van (cooling, power steering, a/c), and
I acquired an original a/c compressor to replace the universal compressor
already installed that keeps failing and leaking. Anyway, what I'm in need
of is the short refrigerant pipe that connects to the hose that runs under
the van. The part # for the pipe is 253260723A. Any help will be greatly
appreciated.

TIA,
