Question about aeromotive regulator?
I was wondering if there is any reason I shouldnt use copper fittings to adapt the regulator to regular EFI hose?


I was going to see if I can find fittings at a local hardware store.

Why not just use AN barbed fittings made out of aluminum on the FPR? Don't use copper. if anthing you can use brass which can easily be purchased at a hardware store.

All the Aeromotive regulators are ORB AN fittings. You won't find any at a hardware store by hydraulic stores should carry them.

Well, I couldn't find any that adapt to a 5/16 line, I had to get 7mm bard fittings from summitracing.com.

Thanks for the help.
