Been a year since mine was done. I had a bad O ring which is what lead me to
have a conversion in the first place. Only that one was done. If the others
go bad later, (and you know they just may), R-134a is cheap and can be bought
. Just perhaps replace them P.R.N. So far that is what I plan to do. Many of
you may not agree, but is has worked so far for me.
