Where do you guys buy your AN fittings/hose locally?

Any good places locally that carry the stuff in stock, or does everyone makes a plumbing list then go shopping at Summit/Jegs etc online? I'm bound to forget some fittings and would hate to wait a couple days to ship one or two fittings that I forgot.

Being picky here too, but I don't want red/blue fittings with stainless braided line from Autozone. I would prefer black hose and fittings, push-lok would be best like Fragola etc.

Thanks.

I think parker fluid on 14 has that. I got my red/blue fittings from them. Or maybe Mancini racing might carry them also.
 
Parker is where I get most of my stuff. It gets very costly there though. I did all blue/red on my 51 F1 with ebay parts. I was saving about 2-5 bucks a fitting. There are a ton of people who bought too much for a project and are unloading the odds/ends cheaply
 
i bought mine at Mancini Racing.

Mancini Racing Enterprises Inc.
Racing Car Parts Store
Address: 33524 Kelly Rd, Charter Twp of Clinton, MI 48035
Phone: (586) 790-4100
 
Does Victory stock them? Or the performance place in Westland owned by Tom Kraft ( I think)?

Never mind about Victory, they aren't there anymore. I didn't realize that.

Which Parker catalog has this type of fitting and hose? Or what series are the fittings? We don't have that catalog at work.

I find all of the aluminum fittings to be very over priced for the quality.
Lately I have been installing Steel AN fittings in transmissions (if customers are using AN Type fittings)
Threads are always compromised from over tightening....
Parker Steel fittings are 1-2 bucks, Aluminum are 10+

And I hate that store on 14 mile..... rude counter service.... they sometimes can be idiots.
Matzka on Mound N of 10 mile is a Parker distributor also..

Fluid Systems on 14 as well. Usually price competitive to Summit at least on the Anno tuff fittings. Mazza stocks and sells AN stuff too but never bought that type of stuff there.

So I call them today to see if they sell Fragola fittings and hoses. The chicks asks if I have an account (which I do not) and also if I am a business and would like to setup an account (which I do not). I ask her to simply tell me if they sell the stuff. She says she can't tell me that, that type of information can only be shared with her customers.

So fuck them, I would never want to be one of their customers if they treat people like that.

You're not going to get anywhere with them if you're not a business. Also, they don't sell Fragola. There are members of MM that work at Motovicity.

I'm sorry to hear that.

What I don't understand is, if they carry the product I want (and have decent prices) then I would gladly sign up to be one of their customers. But if they can't even simply tell me if they carry a product line then they immediately loose a potential customer.

I wonder what the reasoning is behind that.
