Bummer. Another example of planned obsolescence. There was absolutely no reason to change the manifold fittings except to make consumers buy a complete gauge set. Well, you now have a couple of spare pressure gauges.
BTW, I got my R-134 gauge set from Harbor "Fright" for ~$60. Probably made in East Jesus, Pakistan, of indeterminate quality. They seem to work OK, so far. Thomas E.

The system adapters are for a male standard fitting to a quick connect. The hoses are a female metric thread. They need to attach to the proper R-134a manifold gauge set... :-( -dm > ------------------------------ > Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2005 13:48:56 -0500 > From: "Potter, Tom E" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [MBZ] FS: New R-134a hoses for manifold gauge > > Will the adapters used to convert your low and high side system > connections to R-134 work to adapt the hoses to the manifold? > > Thomas E.
