Was replacing the shocks and springs and such underneath today and cleared the dirt out of my eyes and noticed this! Anyone seen this before on their own rigs? The part number for the replacement costs in the many hundreds of dollars and includes the refrigerant lines. I reckon we can just remove the metal and double tie wrap it. Then when the hose fails, cut away the other end in the top of the photo and replace with new hose and use either small hose clamps or tie straps.

What say you?20210729_161046.jpg

I never looked or noticed under my rear heat/a/c area. Is the heater core and hoses all one piece plus comes with the a/c lines?

GM Parts Giant shows one part number for all the lines running aft for the rear AC system. I love to keep things original and stock but not wanting to take the whole car apart to put those in!

I just looked at RA but sometimes I dabble at GM Parts Giant.

How much did you say that was for your rig @swathdiver? I found at Parts Giant, for mine, for $197.81 and for $171.79 at RA.
Did a quick look on ebay and someone wanted about $200 plus another $150 shipping. RA wants $182.79 plus $649.99 Shipping! Ha! Gotta be a typo!

Are those heater hoses or AC refrigerant lines? I'd use normal hose and clamps on those. On that other line with the split swage I'd put a clamp on that now. This is in Florida? Kind of shocked to see that if so.
