Hi, I would like to buy some braided hoses for my brake and fuel lines on a suzuki samurai frame off rebuild I am doing. I want to buy a few feet, cut it to my length and fit my fittings on it. Is there a place you can recomend?

thanks

Where are you located? I buy all my stuff from Earl's Plumbing

Lots of places carry the stuff.

I'd recommend Earl's or Aeroquip. DO NOT buy they Summit/Jeg's brand stuff to save a few bucks..

Have fun...You'll hate life when you start pricing fittings. Luckily you're probably gonna use -6 and smaller. Look up the prices for the -10 and -12 fittings.

 

Thats interesting that you say that. I actually had an earls fittings break on me and at the time, had no choice but to order a JEGS fittings at 8:50pm on a Wednesday night since it is a 1 day transit to my door. I got the fitting and compared the two and I actually like the design of the JEGS one a little better. It seemed to mate up to the hose with less effort and I havent had any issues with it since then. I was definitely surprised to see the Earls one break tho. No big deal, **** happens.

 

Maybe just a defective piece. It happens.

I know I used summit fittings on one of the fuel systems in the mustang in my avatar. They went together nice, but then siezed up and basically chewed themselves apart when I went to unhook one of the lines.

We've used Aeroquip and Earl's on tons of cars with no issues...That's why I recommend them. Side by side there's a considerable difference in quality to the cheaper Jeg's/Summit stuff.
