Hm, do those really work for steel-braided hose?
For smaller hose I sometime use a cold chisel and a big-ass hammer to cut them instead.
Yup cut hundreds of -6 hose, + 50 or so -4 Teflon and still not a mark on them.
I use the same thing when I cut hose, also no issues. I actually use mine for all my hose cutting.
Electrical tape for me too, or shrink wrapping like you use around pallets. In my experience less sticky is better because it lets the strands stay where they are.
I use Harbor Freight cable cutters. The smaller ones on like up to -6 and the big 3' long ones on the bigger stuff. Finish off any remaining strands with wire cutters.
So I found that the traditional two piece ninety degree fitting (need 10) are 50% cheaper than the push lock version. The Russell two piece is the same price as the no name ebay push lock.
I had planned on running black nylon braided hose for looks.
You guys have been discussing the two piece version extensively.
Is there a good reason, on a street car, to run push lock vs the two piece?
I used the Earl's blue hose and push lock fittings for the fuel system on my race car. A little Earl's assembly lube and a heat gun and they go together easily. After everything is assembled and clocked I install an Oetiker clamp on every one. Very secure.
Correct. No -5 PL hose. Adapters....
I have a bunch of -6an black stuff I am not going to use, email me what you need, I'll cut you a deal! kandpperformance at gmail dot com
I have a list at the house. I'll email you in the next couple hours.
