Default Restrictor Fittings
Does anyone have a good source for restrictor fittings? I am looking for a AN823-4 preferably in steel. Are Van's VA-128 fittings steel or aluminum?

Kent, I would assume that you can get them from Van's, since they came with my FWF kit. If you strike out, PM me. I think I have an extra that I can send you.

Default Van...
...uses the steel ones. They are nicely fabricated with the internal restriction pinned in place.

Default Make one, Kent....
...by silver-soldering the opening shut and drilling it with a small drill.
