Sorry to resurrect such an old thread, but I finally got to moving on to this project and installing it on the car. I went with some -6AN lines and some Earl's fittings; the hardest part to source ended up being the compression fittings, and Lindsey Racing was the only place I could find with the 10mm to -6AN fitting required to mate the hoses to the tubes. In case anyone else wants to tackle this, here is a list of the parts I used, along with links. I could make these for other people, if they're interested, but my schedule is crazy, and it would definitely be a made-to-order type of thing.
Most parts were bought from ANPlumbing.com, such as:
4
Straight swivel seals - Earl’s AT800106ERL
4
gold replacement seal sockets - Earl's 898063GERL
1
AN to metric adapter - Earl’s AT9919DFHERL - For attaching the lower tube's hose to the upper radiator port
Pelican Parts:
1 washer for above fitting - 900-123-007-30-M131
JEGS:
1
Banjo bolt and fitting - Vibrant Performance 11524 - Comes with both washers! Used to attach the upper tube's hose to the lower radiator port.
Lindsey Racing:
2
10mm to -6AN compression fittings - I'd love to find a different source for these
I bought my stainless steel hose from ANPlumbing.com, since they also sell pre-cut lengths of hose in addition to the fittings. It was pretty convenient, though the hose ends were frayed and needed to be re-cut a bit (the zip-tie method is best method, by the way). I got a 1 foot and a 2 foot section of hose, though as you can see from my pic, I'll be removing a few inches from the 2 foot section. Installation is simple on the radiator end; just thread the fittings into the ports like you would the original hoses. Installing the tube side required cutting the tubes to fit the compression fitting over the flared ends of the tubes, which turned out to be easier than the fuel lines, due to there being some more room to work with. All in all, this cost me about $200, which is a ton compared to the rubber lines I used (but they started to leak within a few months), but it's still cheaper than the $400ish it would cost to buy the OEM tubes with the rubber hoses installed on them... not to mention the headache of working at the back of the engine to remove and replace the original lines. Also, I like how they look in the engine bay; they add a bit of bling like the fuel hoses.
