I have read several articles on rebuilding (actually putting in the new seals and o rings) in a Nippondenso compressor used on a Porsche. No mention in the article as to where these parts came from. It doesn't seem that Porsche sells Nippondenso compressor parts.
Any ideas where I could get these parts for a C-171 compressor that isn't leaking (yet)? I will be re building an a/c system (after the local shop evacuates it to ensure the refrigerant is gone). Might be a wee bit of R-12 left in it. Lots of labour and I can do that. The checking for leaks and charging can be done by the a/c types.
Boy are there a LOT of guys who want to take shortcuts with almost no evacuation etc when doing a/c conversions and sell this "blend" or that product because they say "I don't need R-134A". Duuuhhhh?
Makes me wonder what is the practical use of "certification".
