I had stainless brakes lines made from Bonaco for use between the brake cylinders and the bulkhead fittings, however I didn't catch the size difference between the bulkhead fitting AN 4 and the hose fitting AN 3. No problem, so I ordered a 4x3 reducer fitting and when I tried to hook it all up I realized that an O-ring was needed between the reducer and the AN 3 hose end because the inside of the reducer will not accept the flare of the bulkead fitting........so I ordered the o-rings.
Still no dice..... O-rings did not fit and then I got to checking around and it seems that I do not have the right combination of fittings to make the reducer work???.........need a different type of bulkhead fitting or something.......or do I??
I am about ready to send the hoses back and just have #4 hose ends installed on one end of the line and eliminate the reducer altogether.
What am I missing here???![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
