Gday mate,

 

first of the car looks like its coming around nicely. Secondly i am putting the convo pros on my ke30, my front rims are fine but do you have the exact size of your rear, including offset. I am about to order some from jegs.com.

 

Thanks mate.

Just some of the fittings for the fuel system

 

More to come during the week

Not going braided mate? Noticed they are all push on fittings

yeah going push lock fittings, seen them used in previous applications and work fine

Most of mine are push lock, never had a drip from one of them.

 

FYI - The straight are easy to fit into the hose. 90* and 45* ones ones the other hand are a bitch. I ended up with a bruise in the palm of my hand from doing them!!!

From what I can see majority of them are not straight either. And good to hear that the push on works just as good :)

loving it mate!

Certainly do, if you've put one together you wouldn't doubt them.

 

Tips for beginners when putting them together - Soak the hose in some HOT water for a little while prior. It'll make the hose slightly more flexi. Also wiping a small amount of grease or dishwashing liquid around the fitting or end of the hose helps. :wink:

 

Also anybody thinking of using them - The fitting itslef isn't really any cheaper than a braided one, its the hose itself that can save you some coin.

yeah the guys at pirtek have told me what a shit they can be, and ive seen them done before.. the -6 ones arnt too bad to do, but the -10's are going to be the hard ones ... once i finish making the surge tank, ill start putting the fittings on the hoses..
