I'm running a welded on -10AN fitting on the chimney to a firewall mounted breather on the autocross car. I've experienced twice now, the chimney clip coming undone while driving the car hard. I'm thinking the SS braided -10AN line is too stiff for the chimney "clip" to overcome any movement in the body and drive train.
Does anyone have any experience with a softer, more flexible AN style hose? -Aaron |

Fragola hose is the best.

QUOTE(Racer Chris @ Jul 30 2018, 01:24 PM)  Fragola hose is the best. Wrong... Hose is crap. Fittings are crap. They are not true AN (Army/Navy) mil spec sizes. They are not interchangeable with other correct AN hose. They are smaller ID/OD than the same AN sizes from Aeorquip, Earls, Jeggs, Summit, etc. Use them if you want but make sure that's all you use because nothing else will fit on their proprietary hose size or fittings. |
