Default Best place for aeroquip?

Demon tweeks, think auto, or anywhere else?

Also what do people think of the 'push' fittings?

Cheers billy

Been buying from Torques UK lately, seems like decent quality stuff & excellent service from them.

Another recommendation for Torques too, I also use Listers Motorsport if I need them the same day as they are only about a 30 minute drive from me.

Earls on mine, although have used Torques for stuff too.

Nothing wrong with the push fit hoses, they can be a bugger to get on though.

Anything Ive done lately Ive used the Earls Prolite 350 hose. Very easy to work with and it's very flexible.. Not the cheapest though.

If you need a flexible hose, it is the best. Watch for other sellers claiming to sell hose identical to the Prolite. It may look the same, but theirs has a metal part to the hose which makes it far more rigid. So it'll never bend as tightly as the Earls stuff.
But the cheaper brands claiming the same still make good hose and is fine for 90% of stuff you'd ever need.

Just remember the difference with Teflon hoses and that they need different fittings too

I also recommend that once you have cut it all to size and put them together as required that you flush them through with a hose pipe and then blow them out with an airline as you would be surprised how much crap gets in there during assembly after cutting to length!!!

It doesn't take much to get through and clog an injector etc

Yeah thats true, I've done that before on a friends build.

We ended up using marrigolds to get a good enough grip to get the fittings on

Surely theres an easier way
