idosubaru Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 i have a set of R12 compatible a/c gauges. they have the screw in type connectors. the R134 connectors are the compression fitting type. is there a way to convert mine so i can use them on R134a or do i have to get a new set of gauges?

idosubaru Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 awesome. that first kit looks like it only has two adapters in it, but gauges have three fittings? what am i missing? those look as if they connect to my gauge set so i can use them on newer cars, seems like exactly what i want. thanks!

avk Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 The third fitting is for the charging hose (yellow), the tank/can adapter is for that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
