> [@Stealth1](#): > > Did you find the hoses too short or too long? with 2 1.3m and 1 1.5m hose unless your mounting it on the complete other wise of the car there shouldnt be any issues? there is plenty of line, too much. the problem is getting it all to line up the way you want it to. this is not a s13 or s14 specific kit, it is a generic kit using a honda thread pitched filter… as such, getting it to fit the way you want it is going to be hard… you will likely have to cut and refit the lines unless you get real creative with bracketry and whatnot. ---

If you can match them in earls, ANY compitant hydrolic shop should have adapters or fittings in STOCK, or beabe to order them. > > As for hoses, Areoquip requires there own type of crimp fit hose end, or there own type of reusuable hose ends. You’ll find this with most stainless covered teflon lines. Be this as it may, again any hydrolic shop worth it’s salt could have oredered the fittings in next day and fixed you up nicely. > > As for cutting and fixing the hoses, you will find that you can find a hose from a different manufactuer that specs out the same as the hose in use for this kit, and use fittings accordingly to solve the problem. In this case as the pressure is very low it would work perfeclty fine withut leakign issues, but on higher pressure hoses, wheere pressure exceeds 300-1000psi, it’s not recommended. Sorry matty, i already went through all this. the hydraulic shop i went to was “Industrial Hose and Hydraulic” the largest facility of its kind in Niagara. i personally know many of the guys that work there because they are professional or amatuer go-kart and dirt-track racers. they took a look at the fittings and told me that they were NOT typical fittings… they are some slightly more obscure fittings of asian decent. i then took the lines to Bicknell, a famed dirt-track / go-kart fabricator, and dealt with the same gentleman who rebuilds the dampers for me and who is a former dirt-track champion whose son is the current points leader in his class this year in dirt-track… he gave me the earls fittings assuming the same thing that both you and assumed… i tried to put the fittings on myself but could not… i handed the lines over to one of our maintenane personel at the plant who used to build formula ford and formula V cars… he tried for about 30 minutes before coming to the conclusion that the lines were not the same size as intended for the Earls fittings, they were slightly different. i took the lines back to Bicknell and the gentleman went into the back on thier equipment and after 20 minutes he came back and told me that even though it looked like they were typical lines and fittings, they were in fact not. i had to buy new lines and earls fittings to take up the area required. if you know someone who has these exact fittings in stock then it wont be this difficult, but the two multi-million dollar companies i went to whom i have a good relationship with both told me that they did not have useable fittings in stock nor could they get them. alot of the hardware on these types of products of asian decent are not used in north america… these lines and fittings are one of those items… however, the thread pitch is the same as Earls.[/quote] Million dollar companies dont men they’re worth a lick fo salt bing. But i’ll take your word on it for now, eventhough if you could find the fittings from earls you can get them from detag. But as far as hose suppliers go, Reginal Hose is the BIGGEST supplier of custom made hoses around. And even they dont stock or have access to everything we do. Most companies around here do not deal with the variatey of things our shop does, anything from korean, to chinese, to japanese metric. Most shops do not stock it or can get it. Next time i see you, i’d like to take a look at those fittings. They sound like JIS fittings or something similar, they’re very similar in looks to the JIC(an) standard, but the thread pitch is slightly off. And you completely missed how every manufacturer of “stainless” line, has different specs for there fittings. A earls re-usable most likey cannot fit a aeroquip hose. Each manufacturer has there own product lines of re-usable and crimp on fittings. This is because the outter size of the hose if always different. BUT like i said before, if the hose is -4,-6,8, etc, etc you can measure the hose, find a SIMILAR HOSE in spec’s and use those specs to use a generic (in my case manuli) crimp on fitting and then even if you have to use an earls fitting to go from NPT to whatever, or JIC or whatever, you get the drill. This happens QUITE regularly at a shop that does big rigs etc where the hoses being brought to patch are not those as of ones the shop sells. I’ll try to explain it better in person, or show you if you come down to kw. ---
