Looking for someone to crimp some fuel lines in RI/CT/MASS

[pistolpete]

I am looking for someone to crimp some fuel lines for my 3.2. I am looking to just replace the rubber.
I have tried everyone local with no luck.
I am willing to travel to get it done.
Any help would be great.

Reach out to Len (BoxsterGT) on this forum. He makes all of the fuel lines for these cars.

[pistolpete]

Yes I am familiar with him. Trying to find someone more local if I can

[PeteKz]

Any hydraulic equipment shop can do that.

I tried all the local shops and no one would touch it

Hi PistolPete- Charlie from Griffith's is in NJ, and I couldn't be happier with his set of lines. I initially went with a Pirtek set, which turned into a complete disaster.

Second Griffiths lines. Easy online purchase, quick delivery. Used them in my car, no issues.

[BoxsterGT]

You can get them from Auto Sport in Shrewsbury, Mass if you don't want to drive to NH.

Call first, ask for Mark at 1-800-356-914-6.

I am there on a regular basis.

have you tried a local hydraulic shop or napa?

[BoxsterGT]

The issue with most "local" Hydraulic shops is their crimp sleeves are much too long and their SAE crimp dies are not suitable for our German hose fittings.

What happens is the following.....



Their longer crimp dies crushes the hose at the bump on the fitting meant to retain the hose. Over a short time it results in this failure.....



Be careful where you bring or send your hose assemblies.

Even this slight bump on our Metric fittings......



is enough for the hose to be crushed when the wrong crimp sleeves and crimp dies are used.
