Last fitting showed up today. The manifold can finally be bolted down.



I love my AN fittings!

Another cool little idea i came up with. With my boost gauge it came with that little brittle nylon hose. Previous i kinked and broke one. Come to find out it fits perfectly into a -3 braided teflon line. It slides right in no problem. I put some heat shrink on the ends. Then the compression fittings attach like normal and no fear of kinking or breaking the line.


Here is a crappy pic.

Summit racing. I started making my own. They are -3 braided teflon fragola. I was buying premade ones but the length was always slightly too long or slightly too short. Kinda stupid but that is just how i am.

I've never bought pre-made ones. Does summit put them together or the manufacturer?

Many manufactures make them. They are crimp style fittings. they come in a bunch of different size -3, -4, some npt, etc... I bought premade ones for my Meth kit since i did not trust 100-250psi on hoses i assembled...

Thanks i usually try to keep to the same brand on everything. I have had some sealing problems previously mixing brands. In a pinch i hit up Smileys in mansfield.
