I know. I got a connection at local rubber warehouse. I get just about all my hose stuff from there now. I can get just about everything free too like 1/4 inch I.D SS braided hose with flare-end (5 ft), High silica fiber blanket, and also Silcon sleeves Look around and you can always find them cheaper.
BTW, back to the topic. Nice james. I want to hear some good result
