Check the earls website, http://www.earls.co.uk/earls/hoseends/hose...html#swivelseal

It's what I use and recommend, we can order for you if you find what you are after.

I would only use speedflow as in ad4m's picture. Put an earls and speedflow fitting side by side and you'l know why.

edit here you go

earls

speedflow

I don't think those two pictures show enough reason to denounce earls as good quality fittings. I stand by their quality and very large range of connectors, adaptors and colours.

I'm not saying the earls arent good quality fittings, the speedflow just have a much nicer 'feel' to them. But you do pay for the difference.

Hey mate, you need to have the 'weld-on' fittings welded on, they are only a few bucks a throw. From there you just screw on your fittings.

If you go hose end like in ad4ms picture then its fairly simple, you can just hose clamp the lines to your catch can. If you want to use braid then you'l need matching fittings welded to the catch can.

So your up for the two weld-ons, the two 90deg -10 fittings (hose end or braid) and the respective lines etc.

By far the easist (note, not the cheapest!) way to do it, is take your covers down to GoGear, if you buy the fittings there they will organise the welding which saves you driving around trying to find a decent ally welder (there arent many). Other option is buy through couplers who are much cheaper but you will then need to sort out the welding yourself. Cheaper again is to use earls fittings, and again you;l need to organise having the weld-ons.

Hope you havent painted your covers yet

You could also use earls finishers that don't require any welding but give a similar look, they are basically very nice hose clamps.

thanks daniel

if i had my way with doing it again i would use the weld on fittings like nick said, alot easier than putting in threaded adaptors like i have and sits the fittings lower, not that clearance is an issue.

[ACTIV32]

ok thanks for the help guys ill sort out the weldon option as i am a ali welder cheers

[Flash89]

i go to couplers in malaga for all fittings.
