The high side pressures can get to 250-350. It all depends on the ambient temperature and how well your compressor and condensor are functioning. I don't think the type of clamp you have in mind is going to work out very well for you, I'd ditch that idea altogether. We normally charge $20-40 a hose, but they do get more expensive. A long hose can run as much as $125-$150, like the 7 footer that was brought in today. A 911 hose repair would probably be even more expensive, but my compressor to condensor hose only cost $20.

I wouldn't worry too much about what the oem rubber was, any high pressure a/c hose should do. We happen to have goodyear rubber at the moment, but we've had other brands in the past.
