Re: AN fittings?

Buy the same brand ends and hose. Hoses and ends by different companys are made to different specs which one could be a little bigger or smaller. Could it work?, maybe. Do you want to deal with the head ache when it doesn't? No.

If you're looking to use the same hose for everything including your hydro boost you should use teflon hose due to pressure. Also I've read PS fluid will start to bleed through normal rubber AN hose after a few years.

I used Jegs brand Teflon hose and ends, no problems. Took me less than 5 min per hose end to install with no leaks........yet
