Default 87 cherokee laredo 4.0L a/c hoses

So, My a/c went out. I purchased a whole kit to replace from R12 to R134.
Kit came with compressor, dryer and valve. I also purchased a new condenser.

I removed all 4 hoses for the system (valve to condenser, condenser to compressor, compressor to dryer and dryer to valve) in engine compartment and took them to a local company to rebuild hoses, so I would have all new fittings.

BTW, there was absolutely no type of pressure on the system and I was worried the old fittings were leaking.

Well, the company lost all my hoses. They are not available from dealer any more. I've contacted Crown and Mopar and it seems no one has any of these hoses.

Does anyone know of a company that can make these hoses?

I had hoses made from scratch at a local AC shop. When you get them done, make sure that the hoses are compatible with R134A. It is a blend and the lighter refrigerant in it will soak through the hose and be lost, making your AC not run as cold as it could
