Hose fittings

[pureadrenalin]

Where do you guys get your hose fittings from?

I want to get new ones because my current ones are compression, and cant be removed, and I need to replace my oil cooler and associated hosing, but dam they cost a lot, and I need heaps of them.

[tsoob]

fragola, and yes the DO cost a lot.

staparts - but people probably think they're cheap?

[Mr Revhead]

Has anyone tried hydraulics places?
All the fittings we have at work are pretty cheap. And are rated for things waaaay past anything on a car.

I just wandered across to ENZED, as we do a bit of work with them with our super yacht stuff. Apparently they stock fragola. Will get a price back this arvo for the fittings I need.
I'm scared already

I always go to Alert Motorsport, they stock Aeroquip fittings and are very on to it and good dudes. And yeah, it's going to be expensive.

GSS

NOT cheap at all.

+1 for them, good buggers.

STA do 2 types.
Cheap ones and expensive ones.
Cheap ones can be like 1/2 the price!

Alert is good if you have a trade account. I got some Aeroquip fittings from them once and I wasnt impressed by the quality of them compared to Speedflow (from GSS) and XRP.

I checked out some other Aeroquip ones and same thing, burs, rough finish, colouring a bit weird. Not sure what was going on there. They were from either Cardwells or Alert. Thats the anodiosed range (blue/red) the passivated steel range seems to be really good.

I use STA quite a bit and never had an issue with their fittings.

Had a turbo oil feed hose made by Enzed that leaked like a sieve and then caught fire on me and it cost $140.00 just for the hose. Won't tell you what its cost me so far to replace everything the fire damaged (includes a turbo).

I recently got some braided hose and fittings from a guy on trade me Mat410. He's a little bit cheaper than STA and has the same type of fittings. Although I just exhausted his fitting supply but he has more on the way.

STA don't have alot of the smaller or more obscure fittings as they deal more with V8's but for the odd fitting they haven't had I have sourced them from either pioneer autoparts in Palmy or Japanese Race Supplies in CHCH.

That's weird, we used Aeroquip on the SAE cars from 2007-2009 and I never saw any defects like you describe.

Yea it is weird. All my teflon line fittings are aeroquip and they are mint.
All my alloy pushloc ones are speedflow and they are really smooth.
