New transmission lines - Summit AN fittings and braided lines

I bought some Summit fittings several months back and finally decided to assemble them. John (mtrhead79) had some experience with AN fittings so I asked him to help. I think we did a fair job. We will see when I get a chance to mount them and see if they leak.

First John cut the soft lines from the hard lines.




Removed burs in the inside


Filed the outside smooth


Sanded to new clean metal


Put the old line into the new fittings


Compress it (note rag in vice to keep from damaging fitting)


Cut hose to length using brick cutter


Put fitting on hose
-oil inner fitting prior to install
-protect fitting from vice
-use aluminum wrench or tape up wrench/fitting
Note - put tape on hose at the back of the fitting to be sure it does not "walk" out of the fitting


Assemble had and soft lines

looks very slick. I redid mine just with oil resistant rubber hose. (only option i had at that time)

Pretty cool... But aren't the replacement lines cheaper than what it cost for the AN fittings, braided line, and AN tools?

$86 for the lot. Not bad... New lines seem t leak every 2 years anyway!!!

tim pick of you cutting the new lines shows your boot. you disappionted alot of people who are use to seeing your feet

Let us know how it works out. I did something similar, but used industrial equipment instead of racing equipment. I must have screwed up somehow, because some of the fittings are seeping oil or tranny fluid.
