    OK, so after searching and SEARCHING for my old receipts from jegs for my fuel stuff, I gave up. I even logged onto jegs and they dont have any of my order history from when I ordered all those fittings so I cant get any PNs for you :-(. I will suggest 2 things. If you do use stainless braided line, go to your hardware store and buy a cable/hose cutter. It looks like a pair of shears you would use on bushes for landscaping, but its made to cut cable and hose, and it worked awesome for me. No burrs from the steel or anything, just a good clean cut. And for the parts, I would just call Russel up and tell them what you are doing, there fittings worked great for me with no leaks and easy install. You can either use reg wrenches on their lines or they do have a special wrench that wont gouge up the fitting (basically a line wrench). Hope some of this helps you

    Agreed on the hose cutter...to cut mine I used a sharp chisel and a hammer. Wrap where you want to cut in electrical tape, place hose on metal and hammer away.
    Wouldn't recommend it lol

    Lmao hey whatever works. You don't even want to know some of the things I have used for tools in the past. The most recent incident included a level, wheel bearing grease, 2 clamps used for glueing wood together, and a lot of swearing
