Default Brake Line Fitting

Im going to try to build my own brake lines out of aeroquip hose and wanted to see if anyone here had an idea where I could find aluminum -4AN hose end fittings for -3AN hose. I have searched but can only find the steel zinc plated variety.

Hoerr Racing products are have just about everything in stock. (local to me)

Check out the "aeroquip AQP product line". Look it up and download the catalog, it will allow you to match up fittings to the correct hose.

Aeroquip makes dozens of reusable fittings and hoses, so be sure you are getting a compatible combination.

Luis---it does make a difference WHAT Aeroquip hose you are talking about. There are aluminum fittings out there for the hose, maybe not necessarily for a -3/-4 jump size. We use stainless hose ends for that application with teflon hose.
