the fact is - A/C system is empty now and I've got an estimation from
mechanic $110 (CAD) for the pipe + labour ( bumper removal etc) + $120
system refill.
He didn't say anything about conversion though. So I would guess it's even
more.
I would like to try patching with JB Weld but Canadian Tire doesn't carry
it .
They have liquid aluminium there.
Is it the same stuff?

Pinhole developed because of the contact that pipe had with the other one
below
( I guess it's a galvanic effect) .

thanks guys for your input. I appreciate.
