    Just buy it from the US these days guys.

    The -10 fittings i needed for an oil cooler were $23 from the cheapest place i could find locally and $8 from Summit or JEGS...

    Make them yourself, its not to difficult.
    Atleast you know its to your spec.
    Either use a quality pair if braided hose cutters or a 1mm cut of wheel on a Die Grinder.
    BTW I make all my own line

    Thanks for the info guys!
    Looks like I'll just go with speedflow fittings and cut the hose to length with a grinder.
    Was speaking to my fabricator last night, and he deals with MSCN almost exclusively and has no dramas with them (even considering their prices)…so will probably go through them for convenience and fast delivery.

    Thanks again,

    MSCN you pay for convience and knowledge....oh wait you do that for everything....

    If you know what fitting your need in what sizes and what lengths of hose....USA is cheaper(especially currently)

    If you dont know what sizes etc....you go into MSCN bring what you need connected with a length of hose and they will get you the right gear.

    This. If you're in a rush MSCN are the shiznit, just lube up beforehand.

    If there's no rush, order from the states, particularly the ex-NASCAR stuff which is insanely cheap.

    LOL, MSCN is not the expensive part. Speedflow is. MSCN is actually the cheapest wholesaler for speedflow bits that i have found.

    In saying that tho, id much prefer speedflow anyhow, their bends are die pressed not brazed ends like the yank stuff. However thats sorta splitting hairs when it comes to functionality.

    Atleast you are supporting Australian company when you buy speedflow.
