And the crimper dies are about $450 each. You need about 4 of them to cover most of the sizes.

Yeah, that would be a deal breaker for most anyone. Man, this hobby gets pricier every day if you want the good stuff! Take Lillard money to play!!

If I had a shop building cars that could use their hose and fittings it'd be a worthwhile investment for sure, very cool stuff. But $5K for a crimper and dies to use a few times is tough.

Wouldn't surprise me if one of the many awesome members here offered to support your build by crimping your ends for you. (Hint hint)

Now, you just gotta pop for the 'spensive hose. That is, unless you can find a grateful vendor to help out. (Hint hint).

The fabricator I have doing the work on my car has one of these and only charges a couple bucks to assemble the hoses. The fittings aren't too crazy expensive, but the hose is! I thought of having him do this for me when I get to that stage, I wouldn't need much!

I don't need so much hose that it'd be a deal breaker, kinda solidifies me doing more hard lines lol. But I'd need to find someone local to crimp them, or a nice Lat G member...

Jody mark out clocking of the fittings and ship them to me and I will crimp all your lines

Isn't the hose Goodridge 910?

Yes with variations in the sheathing stripe colors or just plain black Aramid. Also Fragola Race-Rite Pro has an additional variation that I not sure what Goodrich number it crosses to.

Fragola Race Rite Pro: Convoluted exterior with added Spiral Wire increases hoop strength to prevent hose sucking shut under high vacuum. Spiral wire provides an even better bend radius.
