wtb brass compression fittings

I need the little brass compression fitting that goes on the nylon hose for a boost gauge. Does anyone have one or do you know where you might find one/

Thanks

why not get rid of that ****ty hose and use a rubber one? its just going to leek anyway...

 

how would I hook a rubber hose to the back of the gauge?

 

change the fitting to a barbed one...

 

I will see if I can figure out how to do that, I didnt like the crappy nylon line they gave me with it. It leaked right away, thats why I needed the fitting

 

thats why you change it. autometer puts one in with the gages if i remember correctly

 

Anything is better than DOT nylon airlines. Period. I don't even know why they still use that crap on big-rigs. I've converted a couple dozen minitruckers away from using DOT nylon air lines in their suspension setups. Try finding a rubber vacuum line the same size and use a barbed fitting found at any hardware store in the brass fittings section, then just use a small hose clamp to make sure the barbs don't slip as well. Don't forget to use some pipe sealant on the fitting so it doesn't leak as well.

 

i might have the fitting you need to convert over

 

IIRC, its just a 1/8 NPT on the back of the gauge, right? One should be able to find a female to a hose barb.

 

yes its a 1/8th male npt on back, I have a 1/8 npt male to barb but I cant find a female to barb end. Does anyone have a male to male union or a female to barb fitting? cant find anything around here and would like to know what kind of boost my sled is running this weekend.

 

I got some compression fittings at O'Riely auto for cheap.
