At work we have a master r134 o ring kit, cost about $20 maybe from the local auto part store. It should have all the o rings you need. You need o rings for ford size #10 #8 and #6 I believe. Also theres nothing special about the sizing of theo rings. The same sizeo rings are used on a couple of different brands of imports.Any auto parts store should have them. Have you tried napa?

RE: Help FINDING A/C O RINGS FOR ALL THE LINES
I was told i needed a special kind of O ring- they're supposed to be green and tolerate the heat and cold of the engine, or something like that....I've seen the green package of o rings sold at pep boys, its like 19 99 but how do i know what size to put where? do i just use the one that fits best??? gd I have no clue lol!!!
I need to do my heater core too cause my car doesn't have one so..yeah, fun stuff
And no i havent tried napa, dunno where that is or anything like that

you dont need special ones, theres a rack of AC stuff at Autozone, usually by the counters, look for a plastice clear box with about 24 green o-rings, cost me 3.99, just serviced my A/C system last week

I need to service mine, replace all the orings, I can see it leaks at every connection, just going to do it right and then I am putting freeze12 in it now that I can buy it locally.
