Braided lines and fittings (Auckland)

Postby Emz » Wed Apr 21, 2010 10:45 pm

Hello!

Does anyone know where I might find some decent, reasonably priced braided lines and fittings for my car? In Auckland please.
Last quote I got was pretty steep for the bits and pieces I want and I'd like to contact some other places to compare pricing.

Thanks :)

They are not cheap. You could try GSS or Alert Motorsport.
You could end up with over thousand of dollars worth of fittings by the end of the day. I would not recommend Cardwell because they are bunch of cocks.

if you go to Alert you can get them in any colour you like too - I have some sweet blue braided lines on my bike :) Bit pricey as they're made to order - mine were around $100 per line.

what are they priced like? I got a oil feed for my 4AGTE years ago from GSS for about 70 I think it was.

Might be needing to do this again soon :o

for some reason I was thinking braided brake lines when I responded, but I have no idea why. Odd.

wow 13m of braided lines! Thats alot of line to put in, I thought my dry sump set up would use a lot, but 13m would go around my car at least twice or three times!!

Really not bad - If I want a huge amount I journey out there but for small bits I just go to greenlane speed shop.

Fittings Catalogue here:
http://staparts.co.nz/downloads/FittingsCat_v040509.pdf

Type part numbres into here for price:
https://www4.eaccounts.co.nz/start.asp?shop=segedin|1

For example:
-8 braided hose = $11/foot
-8 0' fitting = $14.15
-8 90' fitting = $14.55

STA ones are really well priced.
But they dont use the brands like Green lane speed shop. ie - Aeruquip, Speedflow etc.
STA ones have no brand.

Yeah... but who is going to look under my car and find that my fittings don't have Earls or Speedflow stamped on them :P - They work just as well!

I have my entire fuel system (front to back) setup with STA fittings and lines and no problems to date. 2x -8 feeds and 1 -8 return with all associted fittings and no leaks or issues to date :).
