fellows, would appriciate some help here.
I have 1985 ranger and few months ago i did the a/c work and brought my a/c back to life by rebuilding everything. When I put everything back I forget to put the hose holding clamp and kept driving without it. Discharge hose started rubbing to power steering pully and yesterday I noticed gass leak noise coming under to hood. When checked, freeon and compressor oil was leaking from the hose. It had a major cut in the rubber portion of the discharge hose.
Now the challenging part - I am unable to find discharge hose for 1985 ranger.
I found STRAIGHT HOSE SPLICE and was thinking of using it by cutting the rubber portion, inserting it and then using clamps. However I am not sure if its the right thing to do, becasue discharge side/high side pressure if going to be high and I am not sure if it will hold.
Any guidence would be appriciated.
Thanks
