- Can anyone suggest a good source for air conditioning Freon hoses for a Mk I Stag ? I'm trying to add factory A/C to my Stag in time to go to Rockford, but it turns out the hoses I have are no good.

- You can get them made at any A/C shop. They make them up as needed. I really doubt you'd find them ready-made. In any case, if they're from older stock, they'd be for the old R-12 (freon) refrigeran

- Depends on how that attach the old ends to the new hoses. If they use compression type fittings they will look obviously not stock. If they can source new ends and crimp them on (like the originals)
