Anyone know where I could get some screw on caps for my A/C lines? stop them getting full of crap?

Cheers,

Bill

bethca all cars etc use the same size. Wreckers?

Most of em will all use the same makers of A/C stuff, like ACDELCO in the states etc.

No, Bill, go to your local car wreckers instead.

Very few car makers make their own aircon stuff. if its Jap, its probly Nippon Denso so all parts may have Toymota or Nissan part no, but are actually interchangeable.

there is every chance a wrecker womt have a cap for them.. its not often that a vehicle has capped a/c lines...

from memory i have a slight feeling they may be about 15/20mm so you may find that a standard brass plumbing cap from mitre 10 or sililar may fit.. otherwise try your local enzed dealer or engineering supplier

ill let you know shortly.. i just remembered i have a couple of a/c pumps in the shed.. go do a measure for you.. they are cruiser ones so size should be similar

right i had 2 diff thread sizes on the pump.. one was damn close to 15mm may have been but pump had sorta stripped thread.. other i would have said was about 9/16 as 15mm was just a little big.. again i cant be sure on thread pitch.. poss bsp....

sorry hoped to nail it for ya
