I wanted to try Earl. From what I read Earl and Russell were the go to fittings. I went Russell because they were the only ones available locally. No leak my a$$

I'm going Earl. I'm also wondering if I should use Earl hose too. It's way more expensive than Russell, like over 50% more. Just trying to justify the additional cost. I can't see that much difference in hose and that's not where my issues have been.

I don't know if there is any difference in hose, but from what I was reading, it's not advisable to use the ends from one manufacturer with the hose from another manufacturer. Possibly the hose wall thickness is different, and the fittings compensate for it, but there are no specs, or proof to back that up. I'm calling voodoo on the brand "x" fitting must use brand "x" hose.

On a side note. Did I ever send you the pics from my real camera of the a-pillar? I know I took them just I can't recall if I emailed them to you. Alcohol does a number on your brain cells |

Just checking. I still need to send you the passenger side pillar so we can make it match the driver but keep forgetting to pull it and ship it. I might just wait until Oct when I pick up the DD. It'll be hard not to tell Johnny to turn up the boost when it no longer is required to get be back and forth to work.
