MSA Stainless Steel Brakes Hoses

[Zvoiture]

OK, here is exactly what it costs to make up your own set, as I just received today in the mail a full set from Porterfield. They are XRP brand, have the little paper sitckers stating "Not for Street use" and are made in England.

4- 15" -4 straight to -4 straight hoses ($12.78)

1- 12" -4 straight to -4 straight hose (clutch) ($11.87)

10- -4 male to 10X1.0 Female inverted flare connectors ($10.14/pr)

$88.00 plus about $16 tax and shipping.

Hi Steve:

This may be a PITA thing to ask, but do you have, or could you snap quick a pic of one of these fittings? I'm curious as to what they look like and how the fit to the mounting tab on the car.

Thanks,

Carl

Carl, the camera is at the gallery until Tuesday and Porterfield does not have photos on their site--only a list. But here is a good photo with a company I have also bought SS brake stuff from. The pages are not 'address-specific', so you will have to click BRAKE FITTINGS and a nice picture of the -3AN version pops up on the top right side above 'Female Bulkhead Adaptors'.

Thanks Steve, Yeah, that is what I was thinking they were. That is what I had on the Earls hoses I bought in the early 80's. They proably still have that available too. The MSA hose sets built specifically for Z's (MSA) have something similar except that there is no female AN threaded end, the M10 X 1.0 "adapter" is integral to the hose. See the attached (modified) pic from the website you referred to.
