Autometer sells the adapter for their fuel pressure gauges. If the L and cobra become a big market we will have these made up and come with the kit. This is new to me as I have never come across any other application we didn't have a fitting for.

Lowes and Home depot have a suprisingly good an/npt/ms fitting selection.

The fitting that rob has pictured is a 3275 that will adapt to a AN4 hose. I noticed he is running NOS so i am assuming this is the fuel supply line for a wet ket.


The ATM-3280 is the part to adapt to the fuel pressure gauge sender 1/16 in into the rail and 1/8 in female exposed. That is what I am installing now.

Sorry for the confusion, I went through all of this with a wet N2O install a few years back. I have already brain dumped all the part numbers so I had to reeducate my self. I dont have the ***** yet to try N2O on the L.

If you know anyone in the aviation industry, AN4 caps are a dime a dozen they will get you a nice stainless one. Check with them or try an aviation supply place by your nearest airport, like a Leavens or Aviall. Unfortunately from your picture that flare angle does not look to be an AN flare. AN fittings are 37.5 degrees. Normal flaring for tubing is 45 degrees. Although it's a bad picture that looks to be even more than 45 degrees, so just make sure before you spend any money.

Here's an AN flare.

nope

Lowes and Home depot have a suprisingly good an/npt/ms fitting selection.
Their inventory depends on locations of the stores. I can tell you that HomeDepot's plumbing fittings are lacking at best. Lowes seems to carry much more but doesn't carry these.

Ordered it from Scummit. Was like 12 bucks for an 80 cent fitting........but you can't find it anywhere. I own a True Value hardware and check everyone I deal with and no luck.
