Default I need R12 Freon

Summer approaches, and being a convertible I can just put the top down, but some day I know its gonna be raining, and my air conditioner system is bone dry.

Where can I get R12 Freon, I know its as rare as finding a needle in a haystack and all. I read online that only certified people can buy/handle R12 Freon.

Why don't you convert it to 134a? If would be about 1/3 the cost of r12 if you could find it.

can you point me in the direction of a tutorial of how to do this?? Ive heard of people doing it, but it ends up breaking down parts of the refrigerant system.

Read this. It says no one can legally sell R12 since was banned.

Also I have been train and certified in A/C. I never heard of a system braking down because it was retrofit to 134a.
