I have a couple of lengths of -6 Aeroquip hose. I would only need the banjo fittings for my Mikuni twin carbs. The fittings are M12 X 1.25. I went online to buy a pair, but now I am recovering in bed, with an oxygen mask, after suffering an anxiety attack.
Who makes up these ridiculous prices? I will have to search for some used ones.
Another alternative is to bend and flare some -6 stainless tubing.
Polished hard lines are just as pretty.

Here is a video of how to flare hard fuel lines for use with AN adapters.
Earl's tube nuts and sleeves (see page 66) were used. The only difference is to use annealed stainless tube that won't crack while flaring. I will pick up a length the next time I visit Classic Tube.
I only want some sexy polished stainless tubing from the bypass regulator on the valve cover to the carbies. Black rubber is ugly.Last edited by bravekozak; 06-07-2015, 06:14 PM.Comment

Hey, hey!
I believe I have found something in my price range.
They are only for quarter inch tubing! But they should do.
I just need a -4,-4,-6 tee.
Maybe it would be a lot easier to have everything at -6.Last edited by bravekozak; 06-07-2015, 07:44 PM.Comment

I had never seen that colortune thing before, that sure would come in handy on my vintage motorcycles. Thanks for sharing that!Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.Comment

I must be in the minority that doesn't understand AN fittings. They are so expensive for what they do. And bulky. Give me a plain old "ugly" brass fitting any day.Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.

Army Navy (AN) fittings are 37 degree which is said to provide the best seal to prevent leaks (as opposed to 45 degree brass fittings). I just like the blue and red anodizing.Last edited by bravekozak; 06-08-2015, 05:54 PM.Comment
