STAINLESS WEBER FUEL LINE FITTINGS

PostPost by: silverlink » Thu Sep 25, 2014 3:45 pm

Have searched the web to no avail trying to find stainless connectors and unions for my Sprint Webers. I can get the blue/red and black anodized ones but there doesn't seem to be anyone who does Stainless ones. I am wanting to do away with the banjo fittings and fit a flexible type like I had some years ago from Christopher Neil Sportscars (theirs were blue/red anodized) It seems I need -6 fittings and Aeroquip, Earle's and Goodridge only do them anodized. Goodridge did do an Historic range which were aluminium which would do but I understand they've now dropped that range. Any ideas guys?
Cheers

What about these http://qedmotorsport.co.uk/qed-shop/lotus-twin-cam/carb-ancillaries/braided-fuel-line-various-types from QED?

I've had a set for a year... satisfied myself :D

Thanks for your replies guys,
Unfortunately the parts you recommend are all of the banjo type and I'm trying to avoid using them. I have a guy at CAM Products from Hertfordshire who are main Goodridge agents looking into this for me in the hope he'll come up with the goods.
Thanks

When I can't find anything other than the red or blue anodized fittings, I bead blast the color away (except on the threads) then polish them up in natural aluminum. Have also left them matt finish, and oiled.

Funny enough Steve we tried this on my old setup and it worked, I think you may be right with your suggestion.
Thanks
