1990 Accumulator hose needed - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

lakemeadzmonster · 07-20-2012

A good used one would be fine, I could get one made up apparently at a local hose place, but would just soon use a GM Part for that.

What is the difference in the later years hose, they look the same in picture to me, but has cloth braiding. Has any one tried a 93-95 hose? Will it work? Thanks

Later years (1994+) went to metric threads with the changeover to R-134A. These later parts are not compatible with the SAE threads on 90-93 models with R-12 refrigerant.
