what do you mean braze??



i got a couple of these fittings it's for 3/8 line, but no one makes adapters for 5/16 line. I figure I can flare it just a bit if I have too.



it's a 3/8" hard line to -6an male, no flaring

yeah i saw these fittings at DRE digging through their boxes, did it work well?



it's like a compression fitting on the hard line side, right?

Some people use hose clamps around the braided line onto the nipple, but I think that's ghetto, and not really how the hoses are meant to be used.

this is off-topic, but are those holes in that crossmember stock on the fd or did you take a hole saw to it?

Stock.

so how did you connect the SS braided hose to the hard lines at the tank then?

I cheated and made myself a little sumthin, sumthin... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

yeah it's compression type. I'll be using it in a couple days so i'll let you know how it turns out.



Either way your gonna have to cut the pipe to get rid of the lip the stock hose uses.

This stuff easy to do and worth it? I might do it to my supra, seems like a decent upgrade.

you may want to take a look at the lines currently on your car, and decide from there. If the lines are beginning to show rust or corrosion (road salt will eat through them over time) or the Lines will not meet the flow required for your next upgrade such as larger injectors or fuel pump then yes this is a very worthwhile upgrade

I like that tyson, I think I might do something like that, or maybe just bigger steel hard line..
