Subject: FW: Braided hose & fittings in North Calif ?

Charles,

The best supplier of any high performance related item I have found is

Summit Racing Equipment. 

Super Shops I have found is almost worthless. They stock nothing, they

know nothing and they are 

expensive. Summit charges no sales tax, shipping by ground is free and

they have good tech 

support. For $6 they will ship 2 day Federal Express. Their phone number

is 800-230-3030.They 

have a full line of aluminum fittings and Aeroquip hose.



Good Luck



Cary
