I am looking for made up hoses that are stainless steel braid 22" in length with straight stainless steel 3/16" inverted flare male ends (common automotive brake line fitting) on both ends. They are for the trim/tilt cylinder of a sterndrive. I think the working pressure is
1200-1500psi. Currently my dealer is charging almost $100.00 each. Does anyone know where I might source these, I would only be needing
3-4 of them. Thanks

Mark, I know you don't believe it, but that's a fair price. The fitting cost is $20-35 each, plus the hose at $3.50 a foot and the labor to assemble and test.
The fitting type you need is JIC. JIC fittings use a 37.5 degree flare angle. (Automotive fittings and refrigeration fittings are
45 degree) JIC fittings are commonly referred to as AN fittings (ARMY/NAVY), but that is incorrect. These are made in normal steel, anodized aluminum, brass and stainless steel. Automotive fittings are only made in steel and brass and are not suitable for marine use. Please note you will need the mating fittings that attach at either end as well. As one responder has mentioned, these fittings can be found at SUMMIT Racing, but be aware that there are differences in ID by different manufacturers. For instance, do not expect that hose from Earls will fit Aeroquip fittings....it doesn't. Summit will supply in Aluminum, brass and steel. If you want to do this correctly see snipped-for-privacy@air-way.com Air-Way Manufacturing Co. She will sort you out. Please also note that there are huge differences in hose, be sure to pick the hose that is rated for the type of fluid you wish to use as well as the working pressures you expect. This is not so simple. Steve

I can get them directly from the sterndrive manufacturer (Konrad) for
54 and I found a place in California for 40 (JDA Enterprises), these are made specifically for this application. I guess I won't find them cheaper than 40 bucks each.

Make sure they are stainless. Brass and normal steel can be had for that price, but stainless can be much more. Steve
