I have read several articles on rebuilding (actually putting in the new seals and o rings) in a Nippondenso compressor used on a Porsche. No mention in the article as to where these parts came from. It doesn't seem that Porsche sells Nippondenso compressor parts.

Any ideas where I could get these parts for a C-171 compressor that isn't leaking (yet)? I will be re building an a/c system (after the local shop evacuates it to ensure the refrigerant is gone). Might be a wee bit of R-12 left in it. Lots of labour and I can do that. The checking for leaks and charging can be done by the a/c types.

Boy are there a LOT of guys who want to take shortcuts with almost no evacuation etc when doing a/c conversions and sell this "blend" or that product because they say "I don't need R-134A". Duuuhhhh?

Makes me wonder what is the practical use of "certification".

I have had success in buying rebuild kits from a local independent auto air conditioning shop. Check around in your area, you might get lucky.

I bet you can find it here.
The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.

Turned out that www.acsource.com out of Phoenix, Arizona has the kits needed. A new clutch is easy to find almost anywhere.

Thanks for the advice.
