Anyway, I had bought a few more of the BMRS hoses to add to my "pile" of crap in the hopes that some of it would be useful later. Some of it proved to be, but we needed modification again. So I contacted BMRS knowing they had opened a Socal location recently and they luckily were pretty close to Brett's shop. So he took all the measurements and we used some of the my good fittings/lines to rework into the new lines. Not the cheapest route, but they pressure test everything for free so this should be a good system and hopefully all leak free.

Wow! Brown & Miller hose & ends. Fancy-smancy there Cheeseball.

That is the best of the best. Wade Brown is a friend of mine and they're dedicated to having the lightest, high quality hose & fittings. Before the LA branch, they had 3 locations ... Charlotte for NASCAR ... Indy for IndyCars/CART/IRL ... and England for F1 ... because those are their 3 primary markets.

Awesome stuff, but out of the practical price range for most of us.
