I would be very leary on a kit that only costs $60. From what I understand,
there is more to it than just O rings and a few other parts. The
compressor, for instance, may also have to be changed, along with the
accumulator, temperature control setting module if equipt, and probably
about a couple hundred more dollars.

If the retro kit was so cheap, I think everyone would just do it, than pay
the higher cost for r12.
