Potential BNR customers, step in!

Ive been talking to brian at BNR and told him how much of a PITA those oil/ coolant lines are. here is his response:

I do have some banjo adapters for 14mm banjos. just connect those to the stock water sources and it would make it easy. Talk it over with your friends on the board and see what they think. If you guys need an 8mm barb or 10mm, I have either adapter for a rubber hose.
i think that would make install so much smoother since basically the longest part of my install was those dreaded lines. if anyone would be interested in getting barb fittings with rubber hoses (which would make it 1000X easier to install) please post in here so we can gain interest. thanks.

Nah, not high heat rubber. Silicon dry rots easy...the original silicon hose for my catch can ended up falling apart at the turbo pcv valve due to heat.

What do you think is underneath the pretty stainless braiding?

I've already talked to him about a 3071. Don't think he wants to produce one because of how negative the community responded to the 2860 and 2871.

Yea before you order it id talk to him and ask if he can supply those lines instead of trying to bend your stock ones.
