Default Need One of These In Steel

I am changing my through the firewall fuel fittings
from alum to steel. I found the bulkhead fitting but
I can not find the 90 deg fitting. Spruce has only the one
like I have in alum.
Why do I get the feeling they don't make the 90 in steel?
Any help or direction appreciated.

If these guys don't have it, I'm doubt anyone does

Might try automotive sources (Summit, JEGS, Earl's fittings, Russell fittings, XRP fittings, etc.). Generally cheaper, very broad configuration selection, and I have heard if no quality issues with mainstream automotive (hot rod) parts. 95% of my fittings are of this sourcing. Zero problems in 13+ yrs and 1500+ hrs.

Default RE: need one of these in steel

Aircraft Spruce carries the part you are looking for, it just isn't easy to find.

On the Aircraft Spruce web site, search for:

AEROQUIP FITTINGS FOR FACET PUMPS

or here is the link:

Most industrial hydraulic suppliers will have it.
