The question I have is: how about the rest of black o-rings on the rest of
connectors you don't take apart during the conversion?

Subject:  Re: A/C -R12--R134a (O-RING QUESTION??)

Hi John,
When I converted to R134a, I replaced all the o-rings
with the new green ones. I took the old black o-rings
to an a/c shop and had them matched with green ones.
They usually only cost a few bucks. Better safe, than sorry.
I did my conversion back in May, and have no leakage so far,
and the system still works flawlessly.
My original post about my conversion is in the archives under
Re: a/c rebuild and retrofitted to R134a on 5/8/98 author "harald.nancy".
