Is what a Nissan main dealer want for the two A/C pipes that I required

Rick suggested welding them, but I had a think about what I could do.

I coated both pipes, one with Chemical Metal & I tried Q-Bond on the other.
Both have worked very well. No leaks at all :thumb2

The Chemical Metal doesn't look too pretty, but could be sanded back if required. The Q-Bond looked much better.
Now time will tell as to how well & how long it lasts.

I figured for how much both products cost, it's worth a try.

With the temperature changes, pressure (more than 150 PSI on the high side) and vibration,I doubt they will last long, when I say weld I mean cut out the bad bits and slid some ali tube on, mimicking the original shape as far as needed, simple welding job, just be sure to clean out any debris, Rick

better than that would be refrigeration pipe flairs that way you could use copper tube, you will need some joiners and nut but works out similar to brake pipe flair, all you need to do is find a friendly refridge guy for the bits, I have never bothered as all my aircons were binned, Rick
