Time to start looking at braided hose and AN fitting, got my Summit Racing catalog here and they all seem to be about the same (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

Ron I go by this shop when I'm in the Charlotte area.Muscle Motorsports You can spend hours looking around in this shop.They sell complete hoses with fittings on each end for the price of one fitting. I also have used the startlite hose and really like it better that the stainless hoses.
These guys will even sell you a complete Nascar SBII engine.

In the FWIW dept.

I have used both stainless & startlite hose,and I find the Startlite is Much easier to work with than the Braided.Especially when you consider there is no frayed or loose wire to cut you with.

In addition,I have called muscle motorsports before,when i needed a loose fitting or two.They didn't have what I needed at the time.


Bigkat is right when he says that you can buy a complete line,with a hose end on each end for less than the cost of a single fitting alone at retail.That's how I did it.
