How can you not find it? Call Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda. It is better to have the US installed one. The lines are less than 1/4rd the price of the Denso system. I had to replace the line from my compressor to the condensor and the denso line was $170, the US line was $30. I was happy that my car had the US system! Even though it isn't supposed to.

If you want to make your own, check out hot rod/old muscle car suppliers. Summit also sells items like this if you are trying to piece them together.

Yeah, just look in your phone book for any A/C shop if you cant find it elsewhere. Some of them can build lines or refer you to an A/C supply shop that can build lines. I custom built most of the A/C system that was on my old Chevy Sprint turbo. It isnt cheap but some times its what you gotta do.

I fixed one in my car at AC shop. Was like $60 and they did it in 1 day. If you got broken/stripped line - they can do it for you.

the reason i can't find it is b/c the line isn't made and can't be ordered from mazda anymore. and no one in the u.s. has it new. everyone i've tried to buy it from ends up having the denso system.
thanks for the insigt on the a/c shop.
