JohnA Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 thats why i asked thought i would gather some opinons of what others have done. wise move, you avoid silly mistakes and/or reinventing the wheel ...appolgies if i went off on one, but it bugs me on forums when people post crap like that You've got to take the attitude in your stride. If the same questions are posted time and again it is normal for more 'established' members to become annoyed/sarastic/smartastic. But if you persist you'll get to pick their brains;) The alternative is a forum full of txt-spk morons who only talk in nmbrs and apostrof's. Friendly m8s, but technically inept. Which one do you prefer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 lol err im lost. Sorry mate, it was just a facetious comment, due to one of my first posts on here regarding catch cans, a few people tried to treat me like a prat! Thing is i do happen to know what i'm talking about most of the time;) The fittings on your other post are known as Aeroquip fittings, due to the makers,very expensive, but there are cheaper available, Earls for one, they are usually constructed of alloy, the sizes are also measured in AN, and JIC, think there is a guide that will give you the size equivalents on here somewhere.
