Jim,

Aeroquip certainly makes good stuff. I thought of this today after I picked up a copy of Grassroots Motorsports magazine. They have the low-down on AN fittings and hoses. Although this seems attractive, I don't know if the MB master cyl line or slave cyl would have adaptable fittings.

For those who don't know (I didn't), AN stands for Army/Navy and were fitting standards for aircraft engines during WWII so that engines would be compatible with airframes.

The guys at work suggested I go to a hydraulic hose outfit with the old one and they will recrimp my existing fittings on a new piece of hose. This will work too, but that's probably a day of running around looking for someone to do it. I also wonder how many crimps the old ends would have in them -- they are 20 yrs old.

Has anybody actually bought the real part, new fittings and all? I'll call around some more

Thanks,

Sholin

Edit: Jim, I read your post more carefully. I see you are recommending the same thing the guys at work recommend. Thanks again.
