Default Supplier for AC braze on fittings and tubing?

I've used Doc's Blocks in the past but it appears they are out of business. I want to run hard lines from my compressor out of the engine compartment and make my own custom lines.

Anybody have a supplier for those like ol' Doc's?

Thanks,

Roger

I used to use Doc's Block quite a bit; great prices, and did custom work as well. From what I know, Doc's Blocks, the retail arm of Stark Mfg, stopped selling direct, and uses a dealer network. Stark still manufactures the fittings.

Thanks Andy -

I just called Stark and they don't sell to the public like you stated but they said that my best bet was to go through Vintage Air.

We'll see...

Stark/Doc's offered a wide variety of fittings, especially for "Reduced Barrier Hose" such as I used on my 914/LS1 conversion where a smaller diameter hose was a huge advantage. I don't think Vintage Air even catalogs RBH fittings (lousy on-line catalog), and others that do, have a limited selection.
