First vendor was CC. Backordered without a good timeline. Not very helpful.....
94-95 R134a Compressor hose is coming from Eklers (in stock, I called to make sure). We'll see how it looks. Picture in online catalog was correct.
94-95 R134a Accumulator hose is coming from Zip (in stock as well).
One thing I learned so far: 94-95 Evap to Condenser line can not be used on a pre-94 ZR1. Fittings for the 2 switches (High Pressure switch and cooling switch) are different thread sizes and 94-95 high pressure switch has 3 pins vs 2 pins for pre-94.
So, I'm using the original 92 Evap to Condenser line with a 134a adaptor for the high pressure fitting.
94-95 R134a Low pressure switch is also 3 pin vs 92 R12 2 pin. Hopefully the pressures will be close enough to the R12 system.

Unfortunately, the compressor hose I just received today was built backwards. High and low side swapped just like Tom's.
Still waiting for the accumulator hose.

That is a big problem with a lot of the vendors....but why it isn't corrected...I don't know.….the one place that had the correct hose set....as I mentioned before....just put it in a box with no packing material and sent it out.....makes you wonder how they stay in business!!!
