|Dont buy junk from the junk yard, buy new from parts store..like from Auto Zone, Reiley's or Advance..they all see those parts.

Propane will not get hot enough to break threads lose, but map gas usually will. Old AC lines may not be saved; I have run into them crumbling in the past.

Some places, shops-stores, make ac lines. Or at least they use to, I made my share in the day. I still see signs and such of places that do that, just another idea of something to look into.
