Hi all.

Well, i look for a fitting to connect a 6AN hose from the stock hard fuel feed line.

I have bought a 6AN 14mm adaptor from Extremepsi but it dont have the same "flare seat" inside ...

This is the stock fitting :

Thanks for your help.

May I ask what did you end up using? Im considering using the stock feed line as a return. That website and vendor are no longer around.

Looks like there's another option. http://www.3sx.com/store/comersus_viewI ... duct=30271

Edit: $30 each, dam. I may just see if a hose shop can rework the old short stock line.

Try earls fittings. Before I replaced my whole fuel lines I have an adaptor that went from feed line to stock fuel filter. There is a guy over here who makes lines hydraulic, fuel etc.. Pretty good prices 6 bucks a ft for braided plus fittings. If interested I can get you lines.

I dont recommend this Earl's adaptor, no inverted flare seat in the female side !

Finally i have found the good fitting with R.C.I company : http://www.racecomponentsinc.com/

Please report back with your thoughts on the fitting once you have a chance to use it. I'm wondering if this

Convex seat
is correct for our fuel line.

I received the fitting , it fit very well (proper seat). But I did not run the car yet... so I can not tell if there a leak.

We have bad feedback from Torques fittings here in Europe, good luck with this cheap thing ...

The fitting threads are not designed to hold pressure/fuel from leaking!

The only part of the fitting designed to hold fluid pressure is the tapered seat for the hard line to mate to.
Doing it any other way is, IMHO, asking for trouble. $30 plus shipping or potential fuel leak. :-?
