Question Steel Braided fuel lines

I am going to convert my fuel system to a parallel system like that on fc3s-pro, but where do those who've done this, get the lines? Hydraulic shop? Also do you end up getting the lines and making the ends yourself? I've seen the braided line on jegs and summit racing, but haven't seen the ends/fittings.

Thanks for your help!

Steven

I just did this mod. Prepaire to spend about $300-$400 for everything. Those damn 45 and 90 degree bends are 17-22 bux each. The line is around 5-12$ a foot.

www.summitracing.com would be your best bet. Local places may have the stuff too. Check out local performance shops. Most know what "AN fittings" are.

Earls make the hose ends. Aeromotive also makes them. Theres a few other companies as well.

That price was right around what I expected. Does that include your FPR? Do you have any pics of your fuel setup. I'd be interested to see. Thanks

Yes that price is everything. I also did not have enough to run all the way to the tank, the braided line stops at the fire wall.

Sorry I donot have any pics. My digital camera sorta broke. Im pissed.

The 45 degree bend I bought was made by a company, "Fragola". Also I have some "Russel" fittings.

Yeah I am not going to go all the way back to the tank. They are steel already and I don't need the extra fuel. The mod is for safety and that beloved FPR. Are the 90 degree's braided or solid pieces? Are they neccasary or can the braid line attach strait to the rail? Curving it a bit of course. Thanks for your help! Experience is great.
