I got most of mine from my local speed shop. It is easier this way, as it is nearly impossible to get the end fittings on to your newly-cut hoses with simple hand tools. Once the fittings are on, though, the finished hose is pretty easy to put on and take off the car. Note that actual AN fittings are very expensive (I paid more for my radiator hoses and fittings than I did for my custom Griffin radiator!), and you need some fancy welding skills to get some of the fittings on your car. I think that you can get a lot of hoses and fittings from the usual race dealers like Summit, Pegasus, Truechoice, and Racer Parts Wholesale, but here are some links to plumbing-specific dealers:
