Ok so I've always had a semi hard on for engine bays with all stainless braided lines. I've always wanted to do this to my car however I do not understand how the little fittings fit over top the hose and all that. So I've decided when I do my heat exchanger plumbing in a month or two that I want to do it all with the stainless lines. Now I know you can buy the line and I know I need 3/4 inch. I found out this is -12AN.

So how do I connect the solid metal tube for example on the dual pass plate to the an fitting
+ = ?

Yea I could use just a hose clamp which is what I'm doing at the moment with regular hose, but I want the stainless lines with fittings I dont understand which fittings i need.


See in this pic theres a hose barb on one end, but the other end is threaded, the dual pass plate, intercooler pump, intercooler, all are not threaded

 

u have to cut the nipples off and thread the hole for a an fitting the fitting would be pipe on one end and and on the other as for building hose fittings its easey or just use the push lock fitting you have in the pic no clamp required with a push lock to cut the hose to length u use masking tape and a high speed cut off wheel in a die grinder the tape keeps the braid from unraveling
