Pricing Updated!

Just added a new hose type option for the 2 engine bay hoses. I have worked out pricing for them in PTFE like the long return line. Its actually slightly better stuff even though it is less expensive. It is just a little tougher to work with and requires a more serious crimping machine.

PTFE Hoses: PTFE liner with SS over-braid, and PVC protective coating to reduce/eliminate abrasion wear from the SS braid. This stuff is suitable for airplanes, battle tanks, aircraft carriers, dump trucks, or fuel systems. It is some seriously tough and durable stuff and will not permeate any fuel vapors. Downsides: Stiffer, not quite as pretty, no swivel ends.

CPE Hoses: Softer CPE liner with light SS mesh molded in, and soft black Nylon over-braid. Extremely light and flexible. The hose ends are swivel style so installation is a little easier. Overall diameter is a little larger as the liner thickness is greater. Downsides: A little more expensive, mostly due to the pretty swivel hose ends.

Both hose types are shown in the complete kit photo. The longer return line (shinier PVC coating) is the PTFE hose type. The 2 engine bay hoses in the photos are CPE type.

Thanks!
