Hi all,
Last weekend we held the first ever Spanish DeTomaso Club Tech Session,
assisted by special guest Mike Drew.
The new rear a-arms went on without any significant problems, the new offset
bushings went on up front relatively easily... I haven't had the car aligned
yet, so I am waiting to report on handling changes..
We pulled the old A/C hoses off and went to install the new ones, ordered
from a prominent Pantera supplier. It was immediately obvious that that
wasn't going to happen - the connectors are completely different.
The most likely explanation is that I have R12 and the vendor sent me
connections for R134, or vice versa. I ordered R12, since that is what I
imagined came stock on my GT5-S. But someone told me that they thought the
fittings on my car were for R134. I'd feel silly yelling at the vendor and
then finding out that they sent me exactly what I ordered.
Could someone please look at the photo at

and tell me which is R134 and which is R12?
Thank you!
