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:

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!
