I'm wondering if it might be lighter than 6061 AL of the same size. Also, for Don Gordon.... What is your problem with HR303 hose and the smaller fittings? My kit had the larger hose and bigger fittings and I wish I has the smaller stuff. Lancair told me they went to the lager hose from Imperial Eastman because HR303 was no longer available.Not true. Their tech people tell me they continue to make a ton of the HR303 and its burst pressure is far higher than anything our systems will ever see. Angier Ames
