I figured the makers had a standardized bit for all hoses/ends, but I guess not. :(

I try to keep with the same maker for hose and ends. Hope you get it sorted out. :)

just went to a sight that sells goodridge fittings and hose it says fittings are not compatable with other brands so most likely hose isn't either well i guess i'll go buy more hose thanks guys zano

i tell you i can not stand the braided hose always had trouble never
worked like the magazine showed always had leaks, so now
i go socketless and never had a problem and i like the reg. blk hose
the braided looks to fancy for me, i don't like any chrome in my
motor just horse power, bjuice is a good guy to help out, bet he
already showed his daughter how to cut the hose, i could never get
the braided hose to work always leaked :cry:

brian appreciate the help went to keystone yesterday and picked up new hose. i brought the goodridge with me i purchased on ebay. its a larger diameter outside keystone is our local drag shop they couldn't get it on either . i would have to purchase goodridge fittings to make it work. i'm going to put it back on ebay. but specify you must use goodridge fittings. thanks again zane

TTT for Brian offering to help!!!

The biggest problems I have seen with S/S braid and fitting is the market is flooded with cheap off brand junk. Stick to a brand name quality product. It is not worth the frustration.

Good Luck with your project!
