Gidday Bob,
I have a bunch of fittings such as you describe. They are called
Speedflow here in Aussie, and they are sold in Uk too. Just like Earls
fittings. I thought to use the 666 Teflon lined hose you needed a
special tool to build the fittings, but as you infer, better to get
someone to make them up for you, albeit probably expensive. The car
racing parts supply business seems to suck your money right out of
your wallet as soon as you enter their store.
So, I look forward to more updates if that is ok. I can chase them
down from the list like anyone else, but if there is anything specific
you'd be happy to share, pls beam it over.
Reg
Tony Renshaw
PS. What prop are you swinging?
