Adapter source - seal ring block to 5/8, AN12, etc.
Looking for an adapter source - seal ring block to 5/8" or..
Boxster / 996 Condensers have these compressor block type of fittings - need to attach with universal hose connections

some v8 conversion shops sell peanut adapters, but $40-60 each
other options I suppose include tig welding an a/c/ fitting bung to the aluminum tubing
or even taping through the existing outlets with a 1/2" X 18 threads with a union

Sadly, Doc's Blocks went out of business about 3 years ago.

You say the condensor has a block fitting - what attached to it? got pics of what you are trying to accomplish?

That looks like a standard "Peanut" fitting.

TIG welding AN fittings to he mating part works, but you would be better off using refrigeration fittings & hose. AN flare fittings can be a challenge with refrigerant, and you need to use teflon hose. Refrigerant barrier hose & "O" ring seals are better suited to this job.

Tim at AC Kits most likely has the right parts to do this. He has 27 pages of fittings:

He still needs to add a lot of pics, so calling him might be faster.

Whole site needs a lot of images added. Once I get my move done I work on a few things. With 12K of items listed now. I may take some time to add them all.
