-8A with just-hung Aerosport IO -360. Wrestled with fuel flow transducer location and ended up attaching it to the forward firewall, just downstream of the fuel line entry hole. In doing so, the Vans firewall forward kit 3/8 inch firesleeved hose is too long, so I tried to order a 12 inch Aeroquip firesleeved hose from ACS - their part number is AE3663161Gxxxx. However, ACS can't supply the hose without the xxxx's being replaced by "a part number from my plans", according to their ordering guy. I tried to explain that there wasn't a part number fm my plans - that the hose was to be custom made. Still no deal - they say they cannot provide a 12 inch Aeroquip hose without me providing 4 digits to replace the x's in the part number.
This doesn't make any sense to me. I can't figure out what to replace the X's with. Where do you folks get custom made firesleeved fuel hoses? I don't want to buy the $75 hose assembly tool - this looks like the only custom hose I'll need.
