I was just mentioning that the rubber hose with the stainless steel braid wrap is generally sold with the reuseable AN fittings, and they are easy to find at most speed shops, Earl's fittings on line, etc. I believe both Aeroquip and Gates make a reinforced rubber hose that you can use AN fittings with, that does not have the stainless braid wrap.
