I know there are alot of you guys building your own stuff out there so I thought I would pass this on. A buddy of mine has started selling braided line and fittings and his prices are about half of what you would pay else where. heres a link to his site Sweet Performance he's also in the OC so he's not that far for you SD guys and he can ship what ever you need. I hope this saves some you a little cash for gas and beer.gif

Excellent prices....Thanx.
Hustler
No problem. Just trying to help every one save a couple bucks and help my buddy get things rolling. I dont think his prices are going to go up either unless his supplier raises them on him but I dont think thats going to happen any time soon

Max-Flow stainless steel braided hose is made of durable CPE synthetic rubber tube bonded with a woven nylon braid and secured with a 308 stainless steel outer braid.  Max-Flow hose  is constructed to resist extreme heat, abrasion and corrosion while providing flexibility and maximum vacuum service.  Compatible with gasoline, alcohol based fuels, motor oil and coolant.  Operating temperature –40º to +350º F.


Mine get pretty dang hot and Im not sure what the pressures are.. ???
BeachHead
chummin...I'd be willing to bet you are using a 1300+ psi pump, so the lines see just a bit of pressure.
Chummin
Its the one HOWE makes..not sure of the PSI.. Ill find out..

hey chummin, you need to do away with the neopreme hoses you have on there and go with the braded teflon, they handle higher pressures. also you can get some sleeving to put over the hose if you are worried about someone touching them.

You know I really dont know, His number should be on his site, give him a call and he can give you all the details on them. If he doesnt have what you need listed on his site I'm pretty sure he can get it.

Check out the pressure rating on the braded hose, it won't hold up for real high pressure. You can use it for the return. Look in Earl's catalog and it will tell the pressure limit. You can get replaceable fittings for the blue hydraulic hose and will take a lot more pressure than the braded stainless hose. I found out the hard way on my hydraulic bender. angryfire.gif

The Stainless Steel braided hose and AN fittings we offer will not work
with power steering systems, the pressure can become to high. It is
better to use actually reinforced PS hose and crimped on fittings.

Thanks Fittinsguy,
And welcome to the board. Thanks for offering hose and fittings at a good price. Seems I have about 300 worth of effin fittings in my car now - Wish I would have known you about 6 mos ago.. Doesnt mean I wont need them in the near future either.. icon_smile.gif

Hey fittingsguy, how do we go about ordering lines from you? Can we just send the length and ends needed? I've got all pushlok now, but would like to upgrade to the braided.
dave@sweetperformance
well well well

First off I would like to thank Hustler for the kind words. Nice site you guys have here.

Like Ken said, our CPE braided hose is not for power steering (or brakes). Getting into that is in our master plan but we are still aways out from that.
I can get them made from one of our suppliers. Could prolly still save you some coin too. The ends are swaged on so you would need to give me the overall length.

PWR MAD, If you just want the parts and plan to put them together yourself just click on what you need and it will figure the shipping based on the weight of the items. If you want us to install the ends then it's best if you give us a call.
