John,

I was just on the "Bus Depot" web page and you can get the dryer for
$59.95.  I don't know about hoses.......but even if you had to buy them
elsewhere you can considerably decrease the amount of monies you spend by
doing it yourself.

Subject:  A/C hoses

The staggering dealer price of new A/C hoses for my 86 Syncro has sent
me to the list once more for some help.  (they quoted 'about' $1600 for
the hoses and a new dryer).  Installed they want $3000+ !!
Is there a good source for these hoses?  How difficult is it to DIY?

Thanks,
