Thread: AN Fittings and Braided Hose

Are these things really the bees knees or just a popular way of making pretty hoses? I thought I'd use them for making oil cooler hoses if they really are that good.

They are good, but consider they are expensive. You'll need the adaptor from the thread you have to AN (also known as JIC, it's a unf thread with 37.5deg tapered seat/seal), then the hose ends and hose. There's a choice of hose, either rubber or teflon both with braid. It's a bitch to cut and fit without the tooling.

That said, if it's a D2 cooler you're replacing the hoses on then go for it, they suck even more than making the hoses.
