Fuel rail fittings

Hi All,

looking for some ideas. here is a picture of my fuel rail, I've removed the original fuel regulator to fit an new adjustable one. I could just flare the end of the pipe and attach a rubber pipe, but I was thinking of using braided pipe, so would need a nut or something on the end of the rail to accept the braided hose. Any ideas welcomed.

Cheers

Scott

get a std -3 fitting tig welded or brazed to end of pipe and fit braided hose to that. m.

-3 is a bit small in my opinion. I wouldn't use smaller than -6.

phil's right -6 would be better. m.

What's the OD of that pipe?

Someone recently posted about compression fittings that give you a barbed tail to fit a hose to, would be worth a look if there's enough clearance around the pipe.
