Metric Fuel & Vacuum Hose (Braided)

[webdawg1]

Was tooling around on the internet today and ran up on a possible source for "Braided" fuel & vacuum hose. I thought it might be of some interest to everyone as I've seen quite a few posts talking about "braided hose", how to get the "braided hose look"...etc...etc. I also found some telephone numbers and a url for their website....enjoy!!! I captured (cough cough) a few of the pages to give you an general idea of what all they have. Also saw some "Copper" uninsulated connectors that would work quite well on wiring repairs.

To one of the gurus...would this qualify as OEM-replacement? I know it isn't Nissan branded, but it IS braided...or is it? I'm just wondering as to the construction.

I'm no guru, but I''l chuck in my $.02

In the strict sense of the word, No it would not be OEM replacement. It may or may not be of better quality, Many of the OEM hoses are "formed" to a shape in addition to being the cloth covered hose. Obviously these hoses are just straight hose, not formed to a particular shape. Also it's tough to tell if the color is even close to that of the OEM hoses. Lots of room for color variation here.

**None of this is to say that the hose isn't any good, just that I don't believe it can be called OEM Replacement.

So, if I know the size of the hose, I can get these for a Turbo L28? That would be nice, but does another company make braided fuel lines, Carl?

I don't know Brian. Wherever you get hose, just be sure it is rated for the pressures encountered in Fuel injection. Regular fuel hose won't do the job for you.

Where would I be without you man. I had planned to put a fuelcell in the place of the OEM tank. I heard I need to change tanks anyway. I'll check with Summit Racing and see what they have. :rambo:
