Just wanted to let folks know that I am going to be doing mass
airconditioning conversions this week.  I have an '84 Vanagon that I am
converting, a '91 (my Carat), my '81 diesel Jetta, and my parents '86 Turbo
Diesel Jetta.  The good part of this is that I will have data for you folks
and o-ring sizes and or part numbers.  I am going to be putting together a
modular kit for the R-134a conversion which will include the Ester Oil/134a
fittings ($32), all the o-rings for the conversion (??), New Reciever/Dryers
($35 for 1.9l Vanagons and $60 for 2.1l), new expansion valves $25-30 (as
needed).   I will not be selling R-134a or any AC flush as you can buy these
locally at any Napa and I would hate for this stuff to get damaged by
shipping it.  Also since most folks on this list are going to basically be
just flushing the system, changing the dryer, o-rings and oil and then taking
the van to a shop to get the R-134a put in professionally it just doesn't
make sense to sell the refrigerant.
Also a How-To will be included in any kits.
Thanks
