I've been gathering ideas and such for my new engine swap and I'd like to get into the stainless steel lines etc - I know what I'd like to see, but unfortunately; I have no idea what or where to look for them...
I've been through several websites, but I have no idea what I'm looking for, or what I'd need exactly. Here are some examples of what I mean: ![]() ![]() I'm looking for specific sites, and specific kits that I'd need to order. I have no clue when it comes to "an fittings" etc, so if there's anyone willing to share knowledge I would be very appreciative. I'm looking to replace as many lines as possible with Stainless Steel as well. Pre-emptive Thank you !! This post has been edited by KAOS: Nov 28, 2011 - 1:30 PM -------------------- |

yea, like fastbird said, be prepared to PAY.
those fitting are REALLY expensive, especially when you need them to swivel, ( yes, you NEED them to swivel in most cases) swivel seal hose ends, particularly the 90* or other bends, can easily run 20+$ each. the sizes are by 1/16ths, meaning 2an = 2/16(1/8") 4an = 1/4" ect another thing to be aware of is if you get hose with teflon liner instead of rubber or whatever (some of the cheaper stuff comes in that style) it will be alot less flexable before it collapses on itself. mixing brands of fittings and hoses is also a bad idea, as most companies sizes are just slightly diffrent outer diameter, which can lead to fitment issues and or leaks. i would as everyone else here suggest summit or jegs if you dont have a local speedshop to buy from. with summit or jegs theyre return policy is really good, so as your planning things, you can get all the fittings you "think" you need, and easily return the unused stuff. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
