Call Aeroquip at 419-238-1190 and ask for an industrial connectors catalog
JA316.  When you get the catalog look up the super gem fittings which are
steel and cost about  $5.00 to $7.00 each.  They are available in all
shapes and sizes.  The catalog also has the teflon SS braided hose part
number 2807 or FC465 at about $8.00 per foot.

Lots of other good stuff in this catalog too.  If you tell them you are
using the parts for aircraft they will send their aircraft catalog and the
same or similar  parts are about 5 times more expensive.

My oil, fuel, brake and sensing flex lines are all constructed of these
industrial Aeroquip parts.  I asked Aeroquip what the difference was
between the industrial and aircraft hose.  The answer was that both came
off the same production line.   When you make up your lines remember to
inspect for obstructions by looking through the hose and then pressure test
them.  Another good trick when cutting the hose is to wrap the hose with
Masking tape and cutting through the middle of the tape with a hack saw.  
For more information on how to make up the hose and pressure test see your
back issues of  the LNN.
