My air conditioning nightmare.2000 Grand caravan

Chrysler calls it the H valve i think.

Guys the line is still leaking so Im choosing to not run the ac for now. I phoned Chrysler and the only way I can buy those lines is to get both. They are $317 my cost (slight discount). Im wondering if I can fit a new section of line in and what sort of fittings would hold the pressure in rather than replace the entire lines. I do have aluminum fuel line handy. Would flare nut fittings work for connecting the patch? Or should I just replace both lines?

WEll I ordered the new lines.Seemed like the best solution and the best way to protect what money I already have tied up.

Looks like it'll be a couple weeks coming from the states though. So back to driving the pickup with no AC for now.

Whatcha gonna do? It is 9 years old after all. The only major component left to blow up is the evap in the dash, and if that goes I'll park it and take my time with it,do it myself. My mech said it's about 12 hours for that job...
