The metal pitot and AOA tubes on the Garmin GSA26 are 3/16 OD and the tubing to the instruments are 1/4". How did you connect the two? So far I could not find a quick connect that changes size.
Thanks.

I spent a lot of time in the store looking for them. Could not find the 3/16" to 1/4" transition. But I will look again.
Thanks. You give me hope!!

I ordered mine from SteinAir when I ordered the pitot.

It's been a while

I remember trying to solve the same problem in the same place.
I think the 3/16 aluminum tube fits inside the 1/4" Nylon tube, pretty tight actually.
A piece of glue lined shrink hose will seal the deal air tight.
It is as good as any fitting and will last as long as a fitting.
